Charles The Bold, De Lamar Jensen
Charles The Bold, De Lamar Jensen
BYU Studies Quarterly
Brigham Young University history professor De Lamar Jensen lived in France in 1965, when this essay was written. Jensen gives a brief sketch of Charles the Bold, Duke of Burgundy, who craved a loftier title and a united empire stretching from the Mediterranean to the North Sea, encompassing France and Germany. Fearless and power hungry, Charles the Bold lacked diplomacy. He angered his European neighbors and suffered defeat at their hands. The author daringly asserts that Charles the Bold and Charles de Gaulle have much in common, including ambition, policies, and obstinacy. Jensen concludes that de Gaulle would benefit from …

Why and how did China and Russia react to Japan's plans and what were the results? How did the Mongol react to the …

Communist Party Memberships And Positions In The Communist World, Byu Studies
BYU Studies Quarterly
Using data first published by the House of Representatives Committee on Foreign Affairs in 1965, one chart lists the membership of the communist party in communist countries (Albania, Bulgaria, China, Czechoslovakia, East Germany, Hungary, North Korea, Mongolia, Poland, Romania, USSR, North Vietnam, and Yugoslavia) and whether they affiliated with China or the USSR. A second chart lists estimated numbers of Communists in free countries around the world and shows whether the majority of Communist party members in each country sympathized with China or the Soviet Union. According to this data, the noncommunist country with the fewest Communist party members was …

A Study Of Moral Development In Mormon Culture, Steve Foster Gilliland
A Study Of Moral Development In Mormon Culture, Steve Foster Gilliland
Theses and Dissertations
Previous studies have indicated that the moral development of the child may follow a "developmental" process. That is, the child progresses through an invariant series of stages, each characterized by certain modes of thought. As the child passes from one stage to another, he integrates the old stage into the new one. Kohlberg proposed a hierarchy of six stages through which the child would progress on his way to moral maturity. His hypothesis has been supported by empirical evidence.
Research findings have indicated that the Mormon culture appeared to be different in values and moral behavior than other United States …

Levi Ward Hancock: Pioneer, Soldier, Political And Religious Leader Of Early Utah, Dennis A. Clegg

The life of Levi Hancock began in Springfield, Massachusetts, on April 7, 1803. His father moved about quite often in his attempts to provide a better livelihood for his family. Each move took them farther west. It was while they were living in Ohio that the Hancock family heard the Mormon missionaries preach their new gospel. Levi joined this frontier religion.

A Proposal For A Section Of An Lds Church History Textbook For High School Students Containing The History Of The Church From 1898 To 1951, Arthur R. Bassett
Theses and Dissertations
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has been organized for over one hundred and thirty-six years. The history of nearly a century of that time--1866 to the present--has not been adequately dealt with in any single book currently available for use on the high school level as an L. D. S. seminary text. The objective of this field project was to produce textual materials covering a fifty-three year portion of this period--the portion 1898-1951.
Church history material relative to this period was gathered and organized in a biographical framework centering in the lives and administration of the four …
The Nature Of The Spirit World, As Taught In The Holy Scriptures And By The Prophets, Seers, And Revelators Of The Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter-Day Saints, Roger T. Ralphs
Theses and Dissertations
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints teaches that there are several estates through which man must pass on his way to exaltation in the celestial kingdom. These estates consist of man as: (1) a pre-mortal spirit being, a literal offspring of God; (2) a mortal being having physical as well as spiritual parents; (3) a post-mortal spirit being, his spirit having withdrawn from his physical body at death; and (4) an immortal resurected personage over which physical death has no more power. The teachings concerning these estates form a goodly portion of the gospel plan as taught by …

History Of The Danish Mission Of The Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter-Day Saints, 1850-1964, Marius Aldrid Christensen
Theses and Dissertations
The "History of the Danish Mission, 1850-1964," gives a detailed account of the Mormon "beginnings" in Denmark and attempts to trace the development of a system of proselyting and its effect upon the lives of both missionaries and converts of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. No attempt has been made in this study to record chronological detail to any extensive degree. Rather, emphasis has been placed on "beginnings" and major historical developments.
This study includes an examination of the Scandinavian and Danish Mission records, several missionary journals and all known printed material related to the Mormon Church …

A Study Of The Department Of Religious Education Of The Reorganized Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter-Day Saints, Glen C. Wahlquist

An Analysis Of Selected Changes In Major Editions Of The Book Of Mormon - 1830-1920, Jeffrey R. Holland
An Analysis Of Selected Changes In Major Editions Of The Book Of Mormon - 1830-1920, Jeffrey R. Holland
Theses and Dissertations
As the title indicates, this thesis is a consideration of selected changes that have been made in major editions of the Book of Mormon. Much has been said recently about changes and modifications in this record but, unfortunately, most of it has been said by those who have been unfriendly toward both the book itself and the church which endorses it. Because this kind of bias is usually an obstruction to objective scholarship, this study has been undertaken by one firmly within the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to document not only what changes have been made, but …
Meadow, Millard County, Utah: The Geography Of A Small Mormon Agricultural Community, Richard H. Jackson
Meadow, Millard County, Utah: The Geography Of A Small Mormon Agricultural Community, Richard H. Jackson
Theses and Dissertations
The agricultural village was the basis of the original economy of Utah established by the Mormon settlers, but it has since been supplanted in importance by the industrial and commercial activities of the large centers of the Wasatch Front counties of Salt Lake, Weber, and Utah. This study was conducted in an attempt to determine the future of those communities removed from industrialized northern Utah. The village of Meadow, Millard County, was chosen as an example and it was subjected to a detailed geographic analysis. From this analysis conclusions have been drawn regarding its future.
Mormon Colonization Of The San Luis Valley, Colorado, 1878-1900, Judson Harold Flower Jr.
Mormon Colonization Of The San Luis Valley, Colorado, 1878-1900, Judson Harold Flower Jr.
Theses and Dissertations
In the late 1870's, missionary successes in the southern states prompted the search for a location to which the new converts could migrate and establish their homes among the Saints in "Zion." The area eventually decided upon for the location of the southern converts was the San Luis Valley, in southern Colorado. Elder John Morgan, the most prominent figure in the early missionary work in the South, was given the leading role in bringing southern converts to the settlements which were to be established in the San Luis Valley. The initial settlement of Saints in the valley took place in …
