Fritz Zwicky And The Search For Dark Matter, Kurt Winkler
Fritz Zwicky And The Search For Dark Matter, Kurt Winkler
Faculty Publications
This paper will discuss the life of the Swiss native, Fritz Zwicky, and this article will present information in a linear fashion, starting with some attention-grabbing information about Zwicky's knowledge of dark matter and then lead to a discussion of his youth and some decisions he made at that time, especially dealing with his education. This essay will then describe some of Zwicky's personal relationships and how his sometimes commanding and abrasive personality affected them. The bulk of this article will deal with how Zwicky was ahead of his time in the areas of astrophysics and the theory of dark …
Linguistic Behavior And Religious Activity, Wendy Baker-Smemoe, David Bowie
Linguistic Behavior And Religious Activity, Wendy Baker-Smemoe, David Bowie
Faculty Publications
Studies have found that Mormons and non-Mormons in Utah exhibit significant linguistic differences. We break this down further by investigating whether there are also differences between Mormons who actively participate in the religion and those who do not, and find significant differences with a medium or larger effect size between the groups for multiple variables. We conclude that when investigating the linguistic correlates of religious affiliation in a community, it is vital to elicit not just respondents’ religious affiliations, but also their level of participation within that religion.
Peter And Paul In Antioch, Gaye Strathearn
Peter And Paul In Antioch, Gaye Strathearn
Faculty Publications
When Peter was come to Antioch, I withstood him to the face, because he was to be blamed. For before that certain came from James, he did eat with the Gentiles: but when they were come, he withdrew and separated himself, fearing them which were of the circumcision” (Galatians 2:11–12). So wrote the Apostle Paul to the Galatian Saints. This passage is a difficult one. Just as ancient Saints were not comfortable with the public tension between Christianity’s most prominent leaders, neither are modern Saints today.
Islam, Zahra Alghafli, Trevan Hatch, Loren Marks
Islam, Zahra Alghafli, Trevan Hatch, Loren Marks
Faculty Publications
Islam, meaning peace or submission, is a major world religion founded by the Prophet Muhammad in the 7th century c.e. Muslims (literally “ones who submit”) number more than 1 billion, approximately one-fifth of the world’s population. Because of the perceived negative portrayal of Islam in the media, particularly in the United States and other Western countries, Muslim organizations have begun to stress that traditional and moderate Islam—which is observed by a large majority of the global Muslim population—is family-centered and nonviolent.
Passover, Trevan Hatch, Zahra Alghafli, Loren D. Marks
Passover, Trevan Hatch, Zahra Alghafli, Loren D. Marks
Faculty Publications
Passover is a Jewish spring festival that primarily commemorates the ancient liberation of the Hebrew slaves and their exodus from Egypt and secondarily commemorates the liberation of Jews on various instances throughout history. The festival begins on the 15th day of the Hebrew month of Nisan (March or April) and lasts for seven days (eight days in the Diaspora). Passover consists of the traditions of (1) a pre-Passover home cleaning and (2) the Seder (meaning order), an evening ceremony on the first day of Passover that is usually observed with family and friends. Passover season is a time for Jewish …
Diocletian’S Victory Column And The Rhetoric Of Spectacular Disruption, Richard Benjamin Crosby
Diocletian’S Victory Column And The Rhetoric Of Spectacular Disruption, Richard Benjamin Crosby
Faculty Publications
This essay explores how the powerful system of cultural references in the architecture of Alexandria is disrupted by Roman visual rhetoric. Specifically, the essay closely analyzes Diocletian’s Victory Column, a monument to the third-century Roman ruler who put down an Alexandrian uprising. The authors argue that Rome employed a visual rhetoric of spectacular disruption as a means to insert itself into the city’s historical identity even after its siege created widespread disease and starvation. The essay builds on the substantial scholarship on public memory by describing a kind of rhetoric that poses a political, existential challenge to a reigning cultural …

The Fifth Principle Of The Gospel, Noel B. Reynolds
The Fifth Principle Of The Gospel, Noel B. Reynolds
Faculty Publications
With the 2004 publication of Preach My Gospel as the new handbook for LDS missionaries, the official explanation of Christ’s gospel incorporated a previously unrecognized fifth principle—enduring to the end. This article will review ways in which this principle surfaced occasionally in early Mormon missionary work and writings. It will also demonstrate that the principle is explicitly and consistently emphasized in Book of Mormon presentations of the gospel in passages that are now generally recognized as authoritative foundations for LDS gospel teaching.

The Trees, My Lungs: Self Psychology And The Natural World At An American Buddhist Center, Daniel S. Capper
The Trees, My Lungs: Self Psychology And The Natural World At An American Buddhist Center, Daniel S. Capper
Faculty Publications
This study employs ethnographic field data to trace a dialogue between the self psychological concept of the selfobject and experiences regarding the concept of “interbeing” at a Vietnamese Buddhist monastery in the United States. The dialogue develops an understanding of human experiences with the nonhuman natural world which are tensive, liminal, and nondual. From the dialogue I find that the selfobject concept, when applied to this form of Buddhism, must be inclusive enough to embrace relationships with animals, stones, and other natural forms. The dialogue further delineates a self psychological methodology for examining religions in their interactions with natural forms.

This second part of a four-part study is a tentative answer derived from the account of Genesis chapter 3 to discover what constitutes God’s provisions for the relationship between men and women after the Fall. In the modern discussion over whether women should be ordained as pastors, the foundational passage for both those who affirm and those who oppose women’s ordination is Genesis 1–3. In the first part of the study, we have dealt with the biblical material of Genesis chapters 1 and 2. Those who affirm women’s ordination find in the Genesis creation accounts a statement of full equality …

Eternal Recurrence In A Neo-Kantian Context, Michael S. Green
Eternal Recurrence In A Neo-Kantian Context, Michael S. Green
Faculty Publications
In this essay, I argue that someone who adopted a falsificationism of the sort that I have attributed to Nietzsche would be attracted to the doctrine of eternal recurrence. For Nietzsche, to think the becoming revealed through the senses means falsifying it through being. But the eternal recurrence offers the possibility of thinking becoming without falsification. I then argue that someone who held Nietzsche’s falsificationism would see in human agency a conflict between being and becoming similar to that in empirical judgment. In the light of this conflict only the eternal recurrence would offer the possibility of truly affirming life. …
The Seven Heads Of The Beast In Revelation 17, Ranko Stefanovic
The Seven Heads Of The Beast In Revelation 17, Ranko Stefanovic
Faculty Publications
Any interpretation based on headline news or current events for the purpose of date setting and popular excitement is speculative and subjective. Some have done so based on Revelation 17. Such interpretations never result in the strengthening of our faith in prophecy; in actuality, they weaken our confidence in it. When understood properly, the prophecies of Revelation have practical purposes: to teach us how to live today and prepare us for the future. A right understanding of prophecy will also inspire and motivate us to try to reach others with the gospel message.

Há tantas coisas boas acontecendo na Igreja Adventista que é fácil falar sobre delas e esquecer a enorme tarefa restante. Por exemplo, frequentemente ouvimos que a Igreja Adventista está presente em 208 dos 232 países do mundo. Ouvimos que a Igreja Adventista é a mais difundida dentre todas as denominações protestantes do mundo. O sistema educacional adventista é o segundo maior do mundo. Algumas pessoas quando ouvem notícias como estas pensam que o trabalho está quase terminado, que Jesus já pode voltar em breve. Mas ainda há muito para ser feito! Ainda há muitas pessoas que nunca ouviram as boas …

Evidence From Flaws: Hellenistic Ceramic Production At Podere Funghi (Vicchio Di Mugello), Robert E. Vander Poppen
Evidence From Flaws: Hellenistic Ceramic Production At Podere Funghi (Vicchio Di Mugello), Robert E. Vander Poppen
Faculty Publications
From 1996–2006, excavators of the Mugello Valley Archaeological Project documented two important contexts for understanding Hellenistic period ceramic production at Podere Funghi near the sanctuary at Poggio Colla: a kiln-waster midden, and a series of kilns located in the vicinity of a small residential structure. This article consists of the results of a visual and metric examination of the fineware material from the midden. The examination assessed the nature and prevalence of specific firing flaws associated with the productive process, and the data derived from this study are used to reconstruct some of the technical challenges faced by the Podere …

Historical References And Allusions To Foreigners In The Dead Sea Scrolls: Seleucids, Ptolemies, Nabateans, Itureans, And Romans In The Qumran Corpus, Kenneth Atkinson
Faculty Publications
The Dead Sea Scrolls continue to shed new light on the religious history of the Second Temple Period. This unique library also describes many of the most significant historical events of this time. Although most research has focused on the religious content of these texts and their possible Essene authorship, relatively little attention has been paid to their historical and political contents. Although over 900 scrolls were found in the caves inside and around the settlement of Khirbet Qumran, relatively few contain proper names. Only eighteen names of identifiable persons appear in these texts, while other fragments possibly contain two …
Legal Substitution And Experiential Transformation In The Typology Of Leviticus, Part 1, Roy E. Gane
Legal Substitution And Experiential Transformation In The Typology Of Leviticus, Part 1, Roy E. Gane
Faculty Publications
Some Christians emphasize the idea that Christ’s sacrifice accomplished a legal substitution, but they largely overlook the effect of experiential transformation. Others do the opposite, emphasizing a change of experience resulting from Christ’s sacrifice, but downplaying the concept that Christ served as our Substitute. The present research demonstrates that in the typology of the book of Leviticus, which serves as a background to the explanation of Christ’s sacrifice in the book of Hebrews, both legal substitution and experiential transformation are clearly present and fully necessary. In part 1 of this two-part article, we will examine the evidence for legal substitution …
Parallels Between Psalms 25-31 And The Psalm Of Nephi, Kenneth L. Alford Ph.D., D. Bryce Baker
Parallels Between Psalms 25-31 And The Psalm Of Nephi, Kenneth L. Alford Ph.D., D. Bryce Baker
Faculty Publications
Chapter 18 of the 2013 BYU Sperry Symposium volume, "Parallels between Psalms 25-31 and the Psalm of Nephi," by Kenneth L. Alford and D. Bryce Baker, highlights numerous similarities in the structure and language of 2 Nephi 4 (also known as the Psalm of Nephi) to wording found in Psalms 25 to 31 -- opening the possibility that Nephi may have consulted those psalms on the brass plates prior to composing his psalm.

The Lot Smith Cavalry Company: Utah Goes To War, Joseph R. Stuart, Kenneth L. Alford Ph.D.
Faculty Publications
In this chapter from "Civil War Saints" (2012, published by the Brigham Young University Religious Studies Center and the Deseret Book Company), Joseph R. Stuart and Kenneth L. Alford take a close look at the cavalry unit that was called to military service on April 28, 1862, at President Lincoln’s request. Their ninety-day period of service was the only unit-level active duty military contribution Utah Territory made during the Civil War. An earlier version of this paper, written by a student for the Library Research Grant Program, can be found here.

A Prática Da Caridade E Da Beneficência Social Na Igreja Cristã, Wagner Kuhn
A Prática Da Caridade E Da Beneficência Social Na Igreja Cristã, Wagner Kuhn

É fascinante observar a frequência com que Jesus e também os seus apóstolos praticaram tantos atos de compaixão em prol do humilde, do doente, do pobre, do possesso por demônios, da viúva, do órfão e de muitos outros. Suas obras de caridade e benevolência se tornaram a base para outros cristãos que seguiram Seus passos. Neste artigo, tento descrever de forma resumida como o pobre, o doente e outras pessoas desamparadas foram tratados e ajudados durante os períodos da história da Igreja Cristã primitiva e medieval, e em parte no período da Reforma, especialmente no que se refere às obras …
