Higher Ground: A Hoosier Soldier's Search For Religious Identity In The Korean War, Douglas Dixon Mar 2017

Higher Ground: A Hoosier Soldier's Search For Religious Identity In The Korean War, Douglas Dixon

Journal of the Indiana Academy of the Social Sciences

This paper focuses on Private Joe Doe, a Hoosier soldier in the Korean War who struggled with the conflict between conservative Christian beliefs and modernity. The author reviewed 85 letters that Doe sent home to his mother, in addition to Private Doe’s mother’s memoirs and the evangelical literature that Doe encountered in his formative years.

This is a case study of a young Hoosier soldier’s search …

A Stained Glass Ceiling? Mitt Romney And Mormonism, David E. Campbell

Journal of the Indiana Academy of the Social Sciences

Did Mitt Romney’s religion—Mormonism—help or hurt him in his campaigns for the presidency? While Romney’s religious affiliation was generally viewed as an electoral liability, Americans’ ambivalence about Mormons presented the possibility that, depending on framing, it could be neutralized or could perhaps even become a political asset. Survey experiments during both Romney’s 2008 and 2012 campaigns suggest that although Romney’s religion was a detriment when he ran the first time, it had largely ceased to be an issue in 2012. Although Mormonism did not have much effect on Romney’s performance at the polls in the general election of 2012, however, …
