Seven of the theological schools are located in Berkeley, California. The GTU was founded in 1962 and has established a relationship with the University of California, Berkeley History and administrationMany of the GTU's constituent seminaries were established at various locations throughout the Bay Area in the early 20th or even the late 19th centuries. Because of the foundation of the University of California, several of them relocated to Berkeley and established cooperative relationships with the University. In the wake of the formation of the World Council of Churches and the Second Vatican Council, Bay Area seminaries began negotiations to form a cooperative degree program. In 1962, agreement between the Berkeley Baptist Divinity School (now the American Baptist Seminary of the West), Episcopalian Church Divinity School of the Pacific, Pacific Lutheran Theological Seminary and San Francisco Theological Seminary enabled for the incorporation of the Graduate Theological Union in 1962. In 1964, the Pacific School of Religion, St. Albert's College (now the Dominican School of Philosophy and Theology) and Starr King School for the Ministry joined the GTU consortium. In 1966, Alma College relocated to Berkeley and was renamed the Jesuit School of Theology at Berkeley. In 1968, the Franciscan School of Theology moved to Berkeley from Santa Barbara and joined the GTU consortium, although in 2013 it merged with the University of San Diego, leaving the consortium and relocating to Oceanside, California . By 1971, the GTU was fully accredited by the Association of Theological Schools.[2] In 1969, the GTU common library was established and the individual libraries of the seminaries were merged into one collection. In the 1970s, construction began on a Louis I. Kahn-designed building to house the GTU library. The main library building was completed in 1987 and was named the Flora Lamson Hewlett Library in honor of the Hewlett Foundation.[3] Presidents and academic deans{{div col|colwidth=30em}}Presidents
Academic deans
The dean of the GTU is the chief academic officer. The dean also chairs the GTU's council of deans, which is composed of the academic deans of the member schools. Traditionally, deans have held the John Dillenberger Professorship in their general field of specialization. The fifth dean, Margaret Miles, was the John Dillenberger Professor of Historical Theology while the sixth dean, Arthur Holder, was the John Dillenberger Professor of Christian Spirituality. Member seminaries and research centersConsortial seminaries
Affiliated Research Centers include the Center for the Arts, Religion, and Education, The Richard S. Dinner Center for Jewish Studies, the Center for Swedenborgian Studies,[4] the Francisco J. Ayala Center for Theology and the Natural Sciences, the Institute of Buddhist Studies (Buddhist Churches of America), New College Berkeley and Patriarch Athenagoras Orthodox Institute (Eastern Orthodox Church). AcademicsThe GTU offers the Doctor of Philosophy degree cooperatively with the University of California at Berkeley and the Master of Arts degree in cooperation with its member seminaries. GTU consortial seminaries variously offer M.Th., M.Div, Doctor of Ministry, S.T.B., S.T.L., and S.T.D. degrees. Ph.D. students are encouraged not only to take advantage of the academic resources available to them at the University of California at Berkeley, but are required to include a non-GTU scholar in their exams or dissertation committees. As such, students have collaborated with UC-B faculty members in the anthropology, critical theory, ethnic studies, history, philosophy, sociology, etc. departments. Departments and certificate programsThere are four doctoral departments, with more than 30 concentrations, encompassing the breadth of religious and theological scholarship at the GTU. The Sacred Texts and Interpretation department focuses on Hebrew Bible, New Testament, Rabbinic Literature, and studies in the sacred texts of Islamic and Hindu traditions. Historical and Cultural Studies of Religions encompasses studies in history of religions, art and religion, interreligious studies, and sociology of religion. Theology and Ethics focuses on theological and ethical reflections in the Christian, Jewish, Islamic, and Hindu traditions. Other concentrations include comparative theology/ethics, philosophical theology, theology and science, and aesthetics. Religion and Practice focuses on homiletics, liturgical studies, missiology, practical theology, and religious education. The GTU also offers certificates in specialized studies. All degree seeking students at GTU may take any classes offered at the University of California, Berkeley, and have access and borrowing privileges at the University of California, Berkeley and Stanford University libraries. Only Ph.D. students have unrestricted access to registering for UCB classes (subject to approval of course instructors). Cross-registration opportunities are also available at Dominican University of California, Holy Names University, and Mills College. Additionally, students can participate in international exchange programs.[5] Berkeley Journal of Religion and TheologyThe GTU's in-house academic journal is the Berkeley Journal of Religion and Theology.[6] The journal is managed by current doctoral students, although peer-reviewers include members of the consortial doctoral faculty. All issues are available free online. CampusAlthough the GTU consortium occupies many buildings throughout the Bay Area, only three buildings are owned by the GTU. The largest of the buildings is the Flora Lamson Hewlett Library, one of the largest theological libraries in the world, with around 529,000 volumes.[7] Notable alumni
FacultyThe GTU draws its consortial faculty from its constituent seminaries and centers. Although faculty members are employed at their respective seminaries and centers, they commit to supervising doctoral and masters students, as well as occasionally teaching advanced GTU-wide courses. Notable current faculty
Notable former facultyFormer faculty members include David Alexander, John Dillenberger, and Roy I. Sano.[14] References1. ^1 {{cite web|title=Graduate Theological Union|url=http://www.ats.edu/member-schools/graduate-theological-union|website=Ats.edu|publisher=The Association of Theological Schools in the United States and Canada The Commission on Accrediting|accessdate=30 May 2015|deadurl=yes|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20150527003437/http://www.ats.edu/member-schools/graduate-theological-union|archivedate=27 May 2015|df=}} 2. ^{{cite web|url=http://gtu.edu/about/history|title=History of the GTU|work=Graduate Theological Union|accessdate=14 November 2017}} 3. ^{{cite web|url=http://gtu.edu/library/information/library-history|title=Library History|work=Graduate Theological Union|accessdate=14 November 2017}} 4. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.shs.psr.edu/ |title=Swedenborgian House of Studies |website=Shs.psr.edu |date= |accessdate=2015-08-25}} 5. ^{{cite web|url=http://gtu.edu/international-research-opportunities|title=International Research Opportunities|first=|last=T324Admin|date=21 January 2015|website=Gtu.edu|accessdate=14 November 2017}} 6. ^{{cite web|url=http://gtu-bjrt.wix.com/bjrt|title=bjrt|website=Gtu-bjrt.wix.com|accessdate=14 November 2017}} 7. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.ats.edu/uploads/resources/institutional-data/annual-data-tables/2013-2014-annual-data-tables.pdf |format=PDF |title=2013–2014 Annual Data Tables |publisher=Ats.edu |accessdate=2015-08-25}} 8. ^{{cite web|url=http://cisac.fsi.stanford.edu/people/eileen%20chamberlain_donahoe|title=FSI - CISAC - Eileen Chamberlain Donahoe|website=Stanford.edu|accessdate=14 November 2017}} 9. ^[https://web.archive.org/web/20110711163947/http://www.heupkim.com/bbs/view.php?id=profile_eng&page=1&sn1=&divpage=1&sn=off&ss=on&sc=on&select_arrange=headnum&desc=asc&no=1] 10. ^{{cite web|url=http://fuller.edu/faculty/nmurphy.aspx|title=Murphy, Nancey :: Faculty :: Fuller|website=Fuller.edu|accessdate=14 November 2017}} 11. ^{{Cite web|url=http://sfts.edu/academics/faculty/christopher-ocker/|title=Christopher Ocker {{!}} San Francisco Theological Seminary|website=Sfts.edu|language=en-US|access-date=2017-05-03}} 12. ^{{Cite news|url=http://gtu.edu/academics/faculty-directory/m/peters-ted-f-plts|title=Ted F.
