Civil Society And Congregations As Public Moral Companions, Gary M. Simpson
Civil Society And Congregations As Public Moral Companions, Gary M. Simpson
Faculty Publications
In the midst of this morally charged situation might not Christian congregations hear again the call to a public vocation? As we ponder this prospect, two questions will guide our inquiry. First, where might Christian congregations locate a space in which they might attend to the public moral meaning of everyday rage? That public space, which we will explore, is “civil society.” Second, how can this public space of civil society be accessed so that its moral possibilities can be maximized? We will explore “communicative moral practice” as the best model for accessing the moral possibilities of civil society. What …

"Murder And Mystery Mormon Style": Violence As Mediation In American Popular Culture, Terryl Givens
"Murder And Mystery Mormon Style": Violence As Mediation In American Popular Culture, Terryl Givens
English Faculty Publications
Terryl Givens's discussion of popular representations of Mormonism ("'Murder and Mystery Mormon Style': Violence and Mediation in American Popular Culture ) is a case in point, emphasizing the violence inherent in the acts of sociocultural and fictional mediation that have tried to contain the heretical challenge of Mormon theocracy. Mormonism has a complex cultural identity, as a religious group clearly outside the American mainstream and yet historically and ethnically American to the core. Nineteenth-century fictional representations of Mormonism tended to demonize the religion while at the same time deploring the violence of anti-Mormon bigotry; such representations mediated social violence …

"Properly Presented": The Autobiography Of Parley P. Pratt, Taunalyn Ford Rutherford
Theses and Dissertations
This thesis is an examination of the autobiography of Parley P.

Pratt is comparable to other works now included in the canon of American autobiography such as Jonathan Edward's "Personal Narrative," Benjamin Franklin's Autobiography and Henry David Thoreau's Walden. Critical theories on the above autobiographies are applied to the Autobiography of Parley P. Pratt in order to show its applicability to the current dialogue of American autobiography. Finally, the …
