A Proposal

I think thesis and dissertation titles would sound much more interesting and infinitely less snooty if, instead of saying what the paper is about, we titled it based upon what we hoped to learn during the process of writing it.

For example, my thesis topic: A Japanese Buddhist Missiological Response to Barth's 'True Religion'

What I want to learn: What is the essence of the gospel, and how do we pass it on without getting in the way?

See what I mean?
