Of All Things! Classic Quotations From Hugh Nibley, Gary P. Gillum

Maxwell Institute Publications

When you hear the name “Hugh Nibley” what do you think of? Intellect? Scholarship? Ancient religions? Temple worship? The study of civilizations? Surely, but there’s more. Brother Nibley has a keen sense of humor. And he turns a pithy phrase as no one else can. Here in one volume are many of the most entertaining and also the deepest of Brother Nibley’s thoughts on society, science, education, Joseph Smith, the Book of Mormon and other sacred writings, the temple, sustaining church leaders, and many other topics. These are not the jottings of some stuffy scholar. These are gems of thought …

In Search Of A Miracle: A Journey Through Religious Addiction In America, William R. Leonard

Theses

This project examines the power of religious addiction and addiction in general. Statistics show that addiction, in some form, effects over 95% of the population and has silently become one of the largest and most pressing social dilemmas of our time.

The research of modern behavioral specialists like Diane Fassel and Sharon Wegscheider-Cruse supports this conclusion. Anne Wilson Schaef, a leading researcher into addiction and author of When Society Becomes An Addict, argues that the context of our society is the fact that the entire system in which we live is an "Addictive System." Schaef describes this deadly system as …

The Lotus Sūtra And The Rhetoric Of Legitimization In Eleventh-Century Japanese Buddhism, William E. Deal

Faculty Scholarship

Thia paper explores the “rhetoric of legitimation,” that is, the use of religious discourse based on an authoritative text in order to legitimate political and social agendas. Specifically, I will examine two eleventh-century Japanese works, the Hokke genki ÀTàz of the Buddhist monastic ascetics known as hokke hijiri ÀT¸, and the Eiga monogatari ¼P]B of lay Buddhist aristocrats (kizoku {Ÿ).

Viewpoints: The Human, The Environment: Sundry Questions, Murray Rogers

Journal of Hindu-Christian Studies

This piece is not authoritative, definitely not! It is all wonderments, the sharing of puzzles and questions and then, from time to time, of wonder. That is why the real vehicle of such an essay is worship, that mysterious activity within the human which is from the beyond.

Ecology And Religion: Christian And Hindu Paradigms, Klaus Klostermaier

Journal of Hindu-Christian Studies

Neither Hinduism nor Christianity had or have 'ecology' as their central focus. A contemporary Hindu or Christian ecology can be developed by rethinking and restructuring traditional teachings, amplifying seminal statements and linking these up with the dominating concern of the late 20th century, to 'save the earth'. In the context of a 'science and religion' seminar some years back one of my colleagues from the life sciences remarked: 'What we need today is an ecological messiah'. The task before us is that of the one preparing the way for such an ecological messiah, pulling together strands of Hindu and Christian …

Human Responsibility And The Environment: A Christian Perspective, Roger Hutchinson

Journal of Hindu-Christian Studies

In his review of the 1932 English translation of Max Weber's famous study, The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism, United Church of Canada theologian John Line observed that Protestants in particular should pay close attention to Weber's findings. 'For they make it clear that Protestantism had a leading part in determining our present economic structure, a fact which puts in our hands a liability now that the faults of that structure have become apparent.' A few decades later Christians awakened to a similar sense of responsibility for environmental problems. One of the catalysts for this awakening was …

Human Responsibility And The Environment: A Hindu Perspective, O. P. Dwivedi

Journal of Hindu-Christian Studies

The World Commission on Environment and Development acknowledged that to reconcile human affairs with natural laws 'our cultural and spiritual heritages can reinforce our economic interests and survival imperatives'. But until very recently, the role of our cultural and spiritual heritages in environmental protection and sustainable development was ignored by international bodies, national governments, policy planners, and even environmentalists. Many fear that bringing religion into the environmental movement will threaten objectivity, scientific investigation, professionalism, or democratic values. But none of these need be displaced in order to include the spiritual dimension in environmental protection. That dimension, if introduced in the …

Environmental Ethics: Ancient Traditions And Contemporary Dilemmas: A Hindu Perspective, Sehdev Kumar, Aaloka Mehndiratta

Journal of Hindu-Christian Studies

According to an ancient Hindu myth the goddess Earth was once imprisoned at the bottom of the ocean, in the nether world, by a demon who had laid waste to the earth, causing havoc to the order of things. To rescue her from the demon, Lord Vishnu incarnated as a boar, as Varaha Avatar. He fought and killed the demon and released the goddess Earth by carrying her on his tusk to float free once more on the cosmic waters.

Viewpoints: Environment, Spirituality And Women, J. Josephine

Journal of Hindu-Christian Studies

Modern-day homes, offices and places of amusement are decorated with portraits of beautiful landscapes, flora and fauna. In some cases the walls are adorned with beautiful and exotic wallpapers to get a feeling of staying or living in the natural environs. Roadside hawkers are very busy selling beautiful pictures of nature in all its glory as they attract shoppers. People living in concrete jungles in big cities and towns crave for a refreshing glimpse of nature to enliven their drooping spirits.

Viewpoints: Environmental Awareness: The Hindu Perspective, R. Vijayalakshmi

Journal of Hindu-Christian Studies

The oldest religion of the people of India is Hinduism. It is a religion which was not propounded by a single individual, but was evolved out of the developments spanning several millennia. It has the distinction that it has assimilated the unique features of all the ages through which it evolved. From the time of its appearance it has grown by adapting itself to its environment. Several works have come forth as an expression of its doctrines from the very beginning. But there is no single gospel for Hinduism as, say, the Bible is for Christianity. The Vedas, the Brahmanas, …

St. Juan De Dios, 1495-1550 The Patron Saint Of Nurses, Christopher Churchouse

Theses : Honours

For any profession to develop, grow and plan for the future, it is imperative that all members know from whence they have come. Nurses', however, do not generally consider this to be an important aspect to their professional development, and hence have focused more on empirical or experimental research. Whilst much literature has been written on nursing history, it has focused primarily on its founding women and its inception from the mid nineteenth century when a more structured training evolved. This study, therefore, goes beyond this period of time and examines a man who played an equally important role in …
