Dr. Bonnie Miller-McLemore, a feminist pastoral theologian at Vanderbilt University, has replaced a long-standing metaphor of the Rev. Anton Boisen’s Living Human Documentsin pastoral theology with The Living Human Web.Boisen, the founder of Clinical Pastoral Education in America, wanted students in theology to understand experiences of people with chaotic psychological illnesses as a religious one in nature, an experience of encounter with God. His metaphor, which has provided a fundamental orientation toward human understanding in pastoral theology for decades, turns its focus on religious understanding of patients away from old documents and books in theology. Miller-McLemore’s replacement means more than a simple extension of a research object from an individual person to his or her surrounding relational environments. It is true that the Living Human Webas a new paradigmatic metaphor excels the scope of individualistic psychology. However, the metaphor also signals a radical shift of pastoral/practical theological methods from a correlational method to a revised correlational method between theology and science. Miller-McLemore has been actively engaged with feminist theories and social sciences, but she consistently pursues resources of the healing of the web from biblical and theological tradition. She employs and maintains a mutually critical method when she has to utilize social sciences according to the declared motto in order to fulfill its ideals.
