Theses and Dissertations

Research of the relationship between orthodoxy and prejudice is not clear. Some studies report those who acknowledge church membership to be less tolerant than those who do not. Other investigators find either slight differences or no differences among the attitudes of members of different religions. Still others find important differences in acceptance of orthodox religious beliefs and attitudes toward minority groups.

By contrast, a recent children’s book tells about a little locomotive who goes to school to learn to be a big locomotive and …

Since then other periodicals have carried like articles written in like style.³ A casual examination of the books on a minister’s personal problems in the library of any theological seminary will manifest the same …
