Capstone Proposal Narrative

The Capstone Proposal Narrative is a one page document addressing the general argument, the research question(s), and the methodology.

This document shall include the following:

Project Title & Author

First Paragraph: General Argument

In the first paragraph, please define what you intend to investigate and/or demonstrate. Is it the Bible’s impact upon Orthodox Christianity? Is it a general theory of religion vis-à-vis Orthodox Christianity? Is it the historical development of a particular doctrine, ethical norm, or ritual of the Orthodox Christian tradition? Are you investigating a creative way in making relevant the connection between religion and your minor concentration?

Second Paragraph: Research Question(s) to be addressed

In the second paragraph, please state your research question(s), and explain why you wish to investigate it/them within the framework of the general study of religion, and what you hope to learn through this particular research project.

Third Paragraph: Data Gathering, Analysis & Sharing

In the third paragraph, please explain how you intend to gather the resources which will answer your research question(s). Will you perform document analysis; that is write your capstone project similarly to a typical final class paper? Will you perform your own field research; that is interview people? Will you do both? Defend your scope in choosing a particular methodology and explain how you will analyze and use this data. (Note: if conducting interviews, the general social science standards for research on human subjects may apply both in the U.S. and abroad.)

Capstone Paper Structure

The Capstone Paper is a comprehensive senior research project which summarizes a student’s general knowledge of religion, while delving into a particular expression of it from an Orthodox Christian perspective. In this project, the student will demonstrate academic comprehensiveness, as well as synthetic and analytic skills in a measurable way. The Capstone Paper is presented in the context of any Religious Studies course. The following structure is a recommended guideline.

A) Introduction (one to two pages) First, the capstone paper shall begin with an introduction which will serve as a bridge between the proposal narrative and the capstone paper itself. Second, the student shall outline the standard general approach to the study of religion; that is the study of religious ideas versus ideas about religion. Third, the student shall define the link between the standard general approach to the study of religion and the student’s topic of analysis.

B) Contents/Topic of Analysis (seven to twelve pages)In this section the student will explore and contextualize the topic(s) of analysis in such a way as to demonstrate a general comprehension of the four areas of religious studies—biblical, theoretical, historical theology and practical theology—while expanding one particular area in line with the requirements of the course in which the capstone paper is presented.

1) Biblical Area In the biblical area, the student may distinguish between different approaches to the Scripture; the interpretation of sacred texts in various cultural, historical and literary contexts; evaluate the impact of sacred texts upon the formation of theological doctrines, ethical norms, and forms of worship.

2) Theoretical Area In the theoretical area, the student may engage a general theory of religion from an Orthodox Christian perspective, as applicable to the topic. The academic approach to religion focuses on a number of central questions about religious phenomena, attempting to answer—in a scientific fashion—what religion is and does. These central questions are based on observations, comparisons, and generalizations, and have been developed by thinkers such as Edward Burnett Tylor and James George Frazer (animism & magic), Sigmund Freud (personality), David Émile Durkheim (society), Karl Marx (alienation), Max Weber (social action), Mircea Eliade (sacred), Sir Edward Evan Evans-Pritchard (ritual), Clifford Geertz (cultural system), René Girard (mimesis and violence), and others.

3) Historical Theology Area In the area of historical theology, the student will contextualize the topic within the historical framework of Christian theology in general and of Orthodox Christianity in particular. The topic should display familiarity with the evolution of doctrines; it should identify major theological thinkers; it should demonstrate solid engagement of contentious theological topics within Christianity at large; and it should demonstrate the contemporary relevance of various historical events. 4) Practical Theology AreaIn the practical theology area, the student should demonstrate the relevance of religion in one’s life. As such, the student can either demonstrate theological preparedness to assist in spreading the Gospel in a way that maintains fidelity to the Orthodox Christian tradition, while displaying respect for other faiths and religions; or should demonstrate theological preparedness to promote the value of religion and theology to a broader audience beyond the confines of a religious organization; or should make relevant the critical connection between religion—as an applicable system of meaning in one’s professional life—and the student’s minor concentration.

C) Conclusion (one page) In the conclusion, the student will summarize the key findings of the research project, and articulate their relevance to the study of religion.

D) Bibliography/Referencing/Research on Human Subjects (two to three pages)Original research is anchored into solid referencing, which demonstrates where and how the student found that fact or piece of information that the student is writing about. References include sources of data such as bibliography, databases and human subjects, and they ought to be listed by primary, secondary, and tertiary relevance to the project. Primary references include standard disciplinary concepts and doctrines (e.g., dogmas, Symbol of Faith, Canons, biblical texts, etc.), events (e.g., Fall of Constantinople, War of Independence, etc.), and empirical research derived from first hand or contemporary accounts of events, results of empirical observations (e.g., surveys, church membership, etc.) Secondary references analyze, review, or summarize information in primary references. Tertiary references provide overviews of topics by synthesizing information gathered from other resources, such as book reviews, dictionaries, and encyclopedias. If conducting interviews, the general social science standards for research on human subjects may apply both in the U.S. and abroad. Please meet with the Religious Studies Program Director before you begin your research. For citation style and referencing, please use any recent printed edition, or on-line version of The Chicago Manual of Style.

Capstone Project Mapping

Step 1) DEFINITION OF RELIGION:Insert a comprehensive definition of religion (theism vs. non-theism, sacred vs. profane, solidarity, religion as antidote to fear, etc.)

Step 2) THE STUDY OF RELIGION:Explain the structure of the academic study of religion by focusing on:a) ideas about religion classified from the perspective of cultural and historic periods about which various theories had been formulated by social scientists. Focus on phenomena such as animism, magic, fetishism, taboo, totemism, ancestors worship, tribal gods and divine kings, nature spirits, fertility cults, social action), and b) religious ideas promoted by organized religions:

• theistic (monotheism, dualism, henotheism, polytheism); • non-theistic and semi-theistic (Buddhism, deism, pantheism); • institutional structure: doctrine, ethics, ritual, sacred texts.

Step 3) STEERING TO TOPICSurvey the four areas of religious studies (biblical, theoretical, historical theology, and practical theology), then introduce the area(s) of your choice.

Step 4) MAPPING:Based on your focus, proceed to the general mapping of the organized religion(s) you are focusing on. Contextualize your topic by presenting:

• general outlook (Catechism, generalities about the faith), • historical development, demographics and world distribution, • sacred texts, • doctrines, • ethical norms, • ritual complexities.

Step 5) CAPSTONE PAPEROnce the topic had been introduced by following the four steps (definition of religion, the study of religion, steering to topic, and the mapping of the organized religion), you may proceed to the topic of analysis in conjunction with the requirements of the course which the paper is presented.
