Sister Laurel M. O`Neal

Expertise

I am a systematic theologian, religious Sister, hermit, and spiritual director. I am willing to answer all questions in the major areas of theology including Christology, ecclesiology, moral theology, and historical theology. My background (BA, MA, ThD) is strong in Scripture studies and I bring that as well as a commitment to providing genuinely pastoral perspectives to every answer. (Doctrinal content is never to be divorced from pastoral concerns). I am not willing to answer detailed technical exegetical questions, but general exegetical questions are most welcome. I am comfortable bridging the gaps which exist between basic catechetics and the work of professional theologians which is generally inaccessible to the average reader. I am also especially interested in the notion of chronic illness as vocation, and the theological problems which crop up in regard to death, dying, and bereavement, especially those that commonly result from poor understandings of the nature of God`s sovereignty, mercy and justice, etc. (Included here would be the notion that God is responsible FOR death, whether as author or agent).

Experience

Besides the academic work indicated above in Systematic Theology and Scripture),and my work in spiritual direction, I have written for publication, usually articles and book reviews for "Review For Religious". Recently two articles were reprinted as "Best of the Review" (selected from articles printed over the past 10-12 years). My pastoral and professional experience includes hospital chaplaincy and work as a research assistant in neurosciences, as well as past work in clinical lab, and catechetics.
