The University of Pretoria Electronic Theses and Dissertations database where you can find a number of theses in Biblical and Religious studies, NT studies, and OT studies.
Of interest to me was Seong-Su Park’s PhD thesis “Christology as Motivation for Ethical Exhortation in 1 Peter and Philippians” (unfortunately it’s divided into multiple PDF files, but such is life) and Sergio Rosell Nebreda’s PhD thesis “‘Have This Mind’: A Socio-Scientific Reading of Philippians 2:5-11” (multiple files).
Of interest to students of the book of Hebrews (such as Brian Small) will be Daewon Kim’s PhD thesis “Perseverance in Hebrews” (multiple files) and Lance Craig Laughton’s MA thesis “The Hermeneutic of the Author of Hebrews as Manifest in the Introductory Formulae and Its Implications for Modern Hermeneutics.”
I also commend to your attention Bogdan Bucur’s homepage on which he features many of the articles, book chapters, and book reviews he’s written. I’ve had a number of these articles in my possession for some time but it was nice to find them all collated in one place and also to be able to download a few new things. If you’re interested in things like angelomorphic pneumatology, christology, and patristics then you’re sure to find something of interest.
Enjoy!

Seong-Su Park’s thesis sounds interesting. I’ve really enjoyed reflecting on the tight link between christology and ethics in 1 peter.

Seumas: It’s not something I’ve given much thought to, but that is the thesis that led me to the Pretoria site.

I cannot thank you enough Nick. I am going to do MA dissertation on `Hebrews and Hermeneutics` and lo and behold someone has beaten me to it. However, the dissertation is going to really helpful for pointing me in the direction I want to go myself.
