Area Dental Missionary Lands Moments After Quake, Bill Vaughn

Verbum

In lieu of an abstract, below is the essay's first paragraph.

"A smile is a language that can transcend all borders. When Dr. Michele Bonnevie left Harrisburg Airport she expected her trip to Guatemala to be just like her two previous dental mission trips. Fifteen minutes prior to her plane landing at Guatemala City, a 7.5 magnitude earthquake rocked the western coast of the country."

What Is The Highest Good?, Maggie Pfunter

Verbum

In lieu of an abstract, below is the essay's first paragraph.

"The highest good is something that people have tried to define for a very long time. But the truth is, the definition of the highest good is something that is different for each person, and what the highest good is for an individual person may not be the same as the highest good for its society. In this paper I will further explore what I think the highest good is, what it is for other individuals in societies around me, and finally what scholars have to say on the …

Politics Of Religion In Popular Culture: Religious Rhetoric And Ironic In(Ter)Ventions, Sabatino Dibernardo

Verbum

In lieu of an abstract, below is the essay's first paragraph.

"As Mark Taylor suggests in the epigram grafted above, the impossibility of grasping what religion is about may be the condition of religion’s im/possibility, which thereby engenders a contested site for those attempting to define and classify religion. When this contested site is also the site of a strategic deployment of a rhetorical discourse with axiological pretentions, then, with Barbara Herrnstein Smith, one might suspect an event of self-privileging at the expense of some devalued other (including mass media and popular culture). When such a deployment is conducted by …

“This I Say Not As One Doubting”: Traditions Of The Apostle Thomas From The Beginning Of The Common Era Through 800 Ce, Janna Y. Strain

Honors Projects

Historically, Thomas has a rich identity. Much of the apocrypha was named for the "doubting" disciple, such as The Gospel of Thomas, The Book of Thomas the Contender, and The Acts of the Apostle Thomas, yet these traditions do not address Thomas's story from The Gospel of John. In fact, Thomas becomes the favored disciple in The Book of Thomas the Contender and logion 13 of The Gospel of Thomas. In The Acts of the Apostle Thomas the disciple leaves Rome to evangelize in India where he is eventually martyred. Today, he is still revered in South India …

The Ninhursag Lament, A Literary Precedent For The Stabat Mater, Clara Brandt

Symposium on Research and Creative Expression (SORCE)

The Stabat Mater Dolorosa of the Christian tradition bears a striking resemblance to the weeping goddess poems of Sumer, and in particular the Ninhursag Lament. The history behind both poems is briefly outlined, and then comparisons are drawn between the two poems' structure, imagery, movements, and use of other literary devices. Using these comparisons and evidence from the Bible, it is proposed that the Ninhursag Lament is a literary precedent for the Stabat Mater Dolorosa.

A Defense Of The Kalam Cosmological Argument And The B-Theory Of Time, Curtis John Metcalfe

Theses

William Lane Craig is the most recognizable contemporary defender of the kalam cosmological argument. The argument, in its simplest form, is that (i) Whatever begins to exist has a cause of its existence, (ii) The universe began to exist, and (iii) Therefore, the universe has a cause of its existence. In defending this argument, he claims that it presupposes the theory of time commonly referred to as the A-theory of time, which is roughly the view that time really does flow from the nonexistent future into the present, and then out of existence into the past. Though this may be …

The Scandinavian Immigrant Experience In Utah, 1850--1920: Using Material Culture To Interpret Cultural Adaptation, Rachel Gianni Abbott

Arctic and Northern Studies

From 1850 to 1920, over 25,000 Scandinavians who had joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints emigrated to Utah to unite themselves with fellow Church members (Mormons) and build their Zion. These Scandinavian immigrants brought distinctive cultural heritages and traditions that contributed to the collective identity in Utah. The majority of literature on Scandinavian immigration to America and Scandinavian immigrants in America, however, neglects to consider the Mormon Scandinavian immigrants in the larger discourse. In addition, many historians of Utah history have concluded that Scandinavian immigrants assimilated culturally and left no trace of their Danish, Norwegian and Swedish …

Doing Local History Of An African-American Church Community: Chackbay’S Little Zion, Tina Granger

Academic Summit

Students in a variety of Nicholls sociology classes gained genealogical and oral-history skills as part of service learning projects working toward a brochure on the history of an iconic local African-American church founded by former slaves. The brochure will contain both the history of the Mt. Zion Church and a more general discussion of the customs, rites, norms, and burial practices of early, southern African-American churches. Students kept journals and wrote reflective papers on their work in the course. This project extends work discussed at a previous ULS Service-Learning conference.

The Anchor, Volume 126.19: April 3, 2013, Hope College

The Anchor: 2013

The Anchor began in 1887 and was first issued weekly in 1914. Covering national and campus news alike, Hope College’s student-run newspaper has grown over the years to encompass over two-dozen editors, reporters, and staff.

In recent years The Anchor moved to monthly print issues and a more frequently updated website. The Anchor is now published in print twice per academic semester. Occasionally, the volume and/or issue numbering is irregular.
