Jacob Baker
I'm currently in a doctoral program in philosophy of religion and theology at Claremont Graduate University in Claremont California. I'm interested in virtually all areas of philosophy, theology, and religion, with particular philosophical interests in existentialism, phenomenology, Kierkegaard, Heidegger, Wittgenstein, Whitehead and Marion, as well as Mormon studies. I've finally hit on a tentative possible dissertation project related to Kierkegaard and Marion.
I received a Master of Arts in Religion from Claremont School of Theology in 2008 and a Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy from Brigham Young University in 2005.

Books by Jacob Baker
This volume is a collection of essays representative of Paulsen’s wide-ranging professional and personal influence, collected in honor of his many achievements and published on the occasion of his retirement. Each of the authors (a majority of whom are not LDS) has been impacted by Paulsen’s scholarship and friendship in important ways, and have authored essays reflective of this dynamic. In addition, the essays are significant contributions to Mormon thought in and of themselves, covering diverse areas of inquiry from Mormon atheology to the possibility of an Evangelical Mormonism; from Liberation Theology to Mormon conceptions of divine embodiment; from Mormon approaches to transcendence to Mormonism’s confrontation with evil and suffering; from re-conceptualizations of what the Book of Mormon might mean for traditional Christianity to ways in which Mormons see themselves as religiously authentic in the American religious landscape; from Mormonism’s engagement with biblical hermeneutics to Mormon views of deification and exaltation.
