The Brass Plates Version Of Genesis, Noel B. Reynolds
The Brass Plates Version Of Genesis, Noel B. Reynolds
Faculty Publications
Phraseology occurring in Joseph Smith's "Book of Moses" matches Book of Mormon passages, but not the Bible. Given that the Book of Mormon claims a different source, the brass plates, this finding would be consistent with the conclusion that the Book of Moses and the brass plates versions of Genesis are more similar to each other than to the modern biblical version.

Consider what might happen if, instead of nuclear bombs and pollution, twentieth-century technology had provided us with time machines; affordable, handy appliances to be bought readily and kept in living rooms, perhaps next to the sofa. In order to travel through time, one would only need to sit back comfortably and turn the electronic control panel's time knob in the proper direction; then, push a button when the indicator reaches the year one wants to visit. . .

'The Savior Of The World' (John 4:42), Craig R. Koester
'The Savior Of The World' (John 4:42), Craig R. Koester
Faculty Publications
Jesus’ encounter with the Samaritan woman in John 4 draws on themes of Roman imperialism and Samaria’s colonial history. The Samaritan townspeople call Jesus “the Savior of the world” (4:42), a title used for Roman emperors from Julius Caesar to Hadrian. They go out to meet Jesus and welcome him to their town, a practice used to welcome emperors and other dignitaries. Using a title of empire-wide significance emphasizes that Jesus now transcends older national divisions. The Samaritan woman speaks as an individual and representative of her people. Her personal history with five husbands parallels her national history of colonization …
The Fourth Gospel In A Three-Year Lectionary, Craig R. Koester
The Fourth Gospel In A Three-Year Lectionary, Craig R. Koester
Faculty Publications
The Gospel of John does not march in step with the other gospels. Perhaps this is why the framers of the three-year lectionary now used by many Christian churches found it so difficult to domesticate John. The readings from Matthew, Mark, and Luke proceed in measured pace, one gospel per year, while the Fourth Gospel appears sporadically throughout the lectionary, claiming a premier role on festival days, dominating the Easter season, and making occasional guest appearances. Yet since there is no “Year of John,” those who preach from the lectionary face the formidable task of capturing this “maverick” gospel without …

Primo Levi: The Drowned, The Saved, And The "Grey Zone", Ilona Klein
Primo Levi: The Drowned, The Saved, And The "Grey Zone", Ilona Klein
Faculty Publications
Primo Levi has been well known in Italy for many years. Even though his first book Se questo è un uomo–published in English as Survival in Auschwitz–did not sell well when first published by De Silva in 1947 (2,500 copies published, of which 600 remained unsold and were eventually destroyed by the 1966 flood in Florence), it was accepted unanimously in Italy as a literary masterpiece and a great witness to history when Einaudi republished the volume in 1956. From that moment on, Italian readers and critics have acknowledged the literary beauty and importance of Levi's writings. He …

The second volume of Uber Künst und AltertJmm, published in 1820, contained an article by Goethe, the first part of which he had already written two years earlier, entitled "Classiker und Romantiker in Italien, sich heftig bekämpfend" (classicists and romantics in Italy fighting intensely). This report was meant to be a description of the Italian literary scene.during the second decade of the nineteenth century.

Durante los ultimos años se han realizado diversos estudios sobre el español del Caribe que ofrecen un análisis detallado de los factores, tanto lingüísticos como extralingüísticos, que condicionan el proceso de aspiración y de elisión de la /s/ en posición final de sílaba y de palabra. Entre los factores lingüísticos examinados cabe señalar: el contexto fonológico, la función sintáctica de la /s/, la posición de la palabra dentro del sintagma, el número de silabas de la paiabra, la categoría gramatical de la palabra y el acento de la vocal inicial de la palabra siguiente.
The Burden Of Responsibility In The Libro De Buen Amor, Lynn Williams
The Burden Of Responsibility In The Libro De Buen Amor, Lynn Williams
Faculty Publications
In three of the early sections of the Libro de buen amor, Juan Ruiz explains to his public how, for various reasons, he is conditioned to love women. In stanzas 71-76 he uses the unimpeachable authority of Aristotle to argue that men and animals are biologically determined to seek 'juntamiento con fenbra plazentera' (st. 71d), and since he is a man like any other, it is natural, perhaps even inevitable, that from time to time he too should feel the attraction of the opposite sex. Paraphrasing St Paul (I Thessalonians 5.21), the Archpriest tells us rather cheekily that one must …

The Order Of Santo Stefano In The Levant: An Unpublished Account Of A Voyage In 1627, Ilona Klein, Christopher Kleinhenz
Faculty Publications
On 12 April 1627 a fleet of six galleys belonging to the Order of Santo Stefano set sail from Livorno on their expedition "contro il comune nemico"–the Turks. This journey would take them along the western and southern coast of Italy, through the Ionian Sea to the Peloponnese and across the Aegean Sea to the Dardanelles. Along the way the sailors encountered many vessels, both friend and foe, heard reports of sea battles and movements of ships in those waters, and listened to an account of a miracle wrought by the Virgin Mary. After having engaged in two fierce skirmishes …
Teaching In A Liberal Arts College: How Foreign Language Courses Contribute To "Writing Across The Curriculum" Programs, Ilona Klein
Faculty Publications
This essay shares some thoughts about the need for interaction between foreign language instructors and English teachers, both in high schools and at the university level. As a foreign language teacher for the past nine years (the last four in a liberal arts college), I have encountered several problems and difficulties that could be overcome, I believe, if English, Writing, and Foreign Language departments addressed them together. I do not claim to be able to give definite answers, since many pedagogical concepts concerting L2 acquisition/learning and their possible application to writing programs remain misunderstood or are presently debated by teacher …

"Official Science Often Lacks Humility": Humor, Science, And Technology In Levi's Storie Naturali, Ilona Klein
Faculty Publications
Primo Levi's third book, written under the pseudonym of "Damiano Malabaila," was published for the first time in the fall of 1966 by Einaudi. Storie naturali is a collection of fifteen short stories which represent the beginning of a new Cours in the author's narrative. After the autobiographical Survival in Auschwitz of 1947 and his second book of 1963 The Reawakening–both dealing with the Holocaust and its aftermath–Storie Naturali ("Natural Stories," not yet published in English) represented such a break in the literary patter established by Levi up to that point, that the author decided to use a …
