Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the biography of a contested memory, how it was born, grew, changed the world, and was changed by it. It's the story of the story of how the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints began. Joseph Smith, the church's founder, remembered that his first audible prayer, uttered in spring of 1820 when he was about fourteen, was answered with a vision of heavenly beings. Appearing to the boy in the woods near his parents' home in western New York State, they told Smith that he was forgiven and warned him that Christianity had gone astray. Smith created a rich and controversial historical record by narrating and documenting this event repeatedly. In First Vision, Steven C. Harper shows how Latter-day Saints (beginning with Joseph Smith) and others have remembered this experience and rendered it meaningful. When and why and how did Joseph Smith's first vision, as saints know the event, become their seminal story? What challenges did it face along the way? What changes did it undergo as a result? Can it possibly hold its privileged position against the tides of doubt and disbelief, memory studies, and source criticism-all in the information age? Steven C. Harper tells the story of how Latter-day Saints forgot and then remembered accounts of Smith's experience and how Smith's 1838 account was redacted and canonized. He explores the dissonance many saints experienced after discovering multiple accounts of Smith's experience. He describes how, for many, the dissonance has been resolved by a reshaped collective memory.

Book excerpt: A biography of Peregrine White, born on the Mayflower in 1620 and longtime resident of Marshfield, Massachusetts from c. 1640 until his death in 1704. Author and Historian Stephen C. O'Neill says: Peregrine White was born aboard the Mayflower 400 years ago and was a 55 year resident of Marshfield. The step-son of colonial governor, Edward Winslow, and half-brother to governor, Josiah Winslow. Peregrine was a Freeman of the Colony, served as a constable, surveyor of highways, militia ensign-bearer and local militia captain. The research explores White's interaction with the Native people, notably with Josias Wampatuck Chickatabut, sachem of the Massachusetts people, and his service during the King Philip's War. Local history followers, students and researchers will value the consolidation of data from dozens of sources into one readable illustrated book. He goes on to say that Peregrines life reflects the life and times of Plymouth Colony until the beginning of the Massachusetts Bay Colony of 17th Century England. Target audience is people of all ages interested in the history of Plymouth Colony, Pilgrims, Native Americans, and genealogy .

Book Synopsis Rescue for the Dead by : Jeffrey A. Trumbower
Download or read book Rescue for the Dead written by Jeffrey A. Trumbower and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2001-09-27 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christianity is a religion of salvation in which believers have always anticipated post-mortem bliss for the faithful and non-salvation for others. Here, Trumbower examines how and why death came to be perceived as such a firm boundary of salvation. Analyzing exceptions to this principle from ancient Christianity, he finds that the principle itself was slow to develop and not universally accepted in the Christian movement's first four hundred years. In fact, only in the West was this principle definitively articulated, due in large part to the work and influence of Augustine.

Book Synopsis American Jesus by : Stephen Prothero
Download or read book American Jesus written by Stephen Prothero and published by Macmillan + ORM. This book was released on 2004-09-18 with total page 508 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Deep Dive into America's Complex Relationship with Jesus There's no denying America's rich religious background–belief is woven into daily life. But as Stephen Prothero argues in American Jesus, many of the most interesting appraisals of Jesus have emerged outside the churches: in music, film, and popular culture; and among Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, and people of no religion at all. Delve into this compelling chronicle as it explores how Jesus, the carpenter from Nazareth, has been refashioned into distinctly American identities over the centuries. From his enlistment as a beacon of hope for abolitionists to his appropriation as a figurehead for Klansmen, the image of Jesus has been as mercurial as it is influential. In this diverse and conflicted scene, American Jesus stands as a testament to the peculiar fusion of the temporal and divine in contemporary America. Equal parts enlightening and entertaining, American Jesus goes beyond being simply a work of history. It’s an intricate mirror, reflecting the American spirit while questioning the nation's socio-cultural fabric.
Book Synopsis Albion's Seed by : David Hackett Fischer
Download or read book Albion's Seed written by David Hackett Fischer and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1991-03-14 with total page 981 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This fascinating book is the first volume in a projected cultural history of the United States, from the earliest English settlements to our own time. It is a history of American folkways as they have changed through time, and it argues a thesis about the importance for the United States of having been British in its cultural origins. While most people in the United States today have no British ancestors, they have assimilated regional cultures which were created by British colonists, even while preserving ethnic identities at the same time. In this sense, nearly all Americans are "Albion's Seed," no matter what their ethnicity may be. The concluding section of this remarkable book explores the ways that regional cultures have continued to dominate national politics from 1789 to 1988, and still help to shape attitudes toward education, government, gender, and violence, on which differences between American regions are greater than between European nations.

Book Synopsis The Architecture of James H. Johnson by : Katie Eggers Comeau
Download or read book The Architecture of James H. Johnson written by Katie Eggers Comeau and published by . This book was released on 2020-12-30 with total page 163 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This historic resource survey documents the career and buildings of Rochester, New York's most innovative mid-twentieth century architect, James H. Johnson (1932-2016). In a career spanning nearly 60 years, Johnson designed hundreds of buildings in the greater Rochester area. He is known locally as the designer of the Antell-Whitman House (better known as the "Mushroom House"), Liberty Pole, and Temple Sinai, but his other works are not generally well known, nor is the sheer number of buildings he designed appreciated either by the general public or the architectural community.Johnson's lengthy and prolific career has left the Rochester region with a tremendous legacy of innovative, unusual buildings. Having developed an early fascination with construction, Johnson always retained his interest in participating in the fabrication of his buildings, and was often found on building sites, particularly when he supervised and took a hands-on role in the construction of his series of earth-formed buildings in the late 1960s. Inspired by nature, geometry, history, and certain architectural predecessors, notably Bruce Goff, Johnson quietly demonstrated his determination to pursue novel approaches to design and construction in both highly visible public projects and in private, personal projects for clients who wanted a house intimately tied to nature, often away from public view. From his earliest projects to some of his last, he thought expansively about integrating architecture with other art forms, and regularly collaborated with artists working in other fields, incorporating their artistic visions into his own. While his expertise with large-scale construction brought him around the world on a few occasions, he spent almost all of his long career working in the Rochester area, where his daring, expressive designs remain some of the boldest and most creative contributions to the region's architectural heritage.

Book Synopsis The Years of Jesuit Suppression, 1773–1814: Survival, Setbacks, and Transformation by : Paul Shore
Download or read book The Years of Jesuit Suppression, 1773–1814: Survival, Setbacks, and Transformation written by Paul Shore and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2019-12-30 with total page 123 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The forty-one years between the Society of Jesus’s papal suppression in 1773 and its eventual restoration in 1814 remain controversial, with new research and interpretations continually appearing. Shore’s narrative approaches these years, and the period preceding the suppression, from a new perspective that covers individuals not usually discussed in works dealing with this topic. As well as examining the contributions of former Jesuits to fields as diverse as ethnology—a term and concept pioneered by an ex-Jesuit—and library science, where Jesuits and ex-Jesuits laid the groundwork for the great advances of the nineteenth century, the essay also explores the period the exiled Society spent in the Russian Empire. It concludes with a discussion of the Society’s restoration in the broader context of world history.

Book Synopsis A People's History of the United States by : Howard Zinn
Download or read book A People's History of the United States written by Howard Zinn and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2003-02-04 with total page 764 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since its original landmark publication in 1980, A People's History of the United States has been chronicling American history from the bottom up, throwing out the official version of history taught in schools -- with its emphasis on great men in high places -- to focus on the street, the home, and the, workplace. Known for its lively, clear prose as well as its scholarly research, A People's History is the only volume to tell America's story from the point of view of -- and in the words of -- America's women, factory workers, African-Americans, Native Americans, the working poor, and immigrant laborers. As historian Howard Zinn shows, many of our country's greatest battles -- the fights for a fair wage, an eight-hour workday, child-labor laws, health and safety standards, universal suffrage, women's rights, racial equality -- were carried out at the grassroots level, against bloody resistance. Covering Christopher Columbus's arrival through President Clinton's first term, A People's History of the United States, which was nominated for the American Book Award in 1981, features insightful analysis of the most important events in our history. Revised, updated, and featuring a new after, word by the author, this special twentieth anniversary edition continues Zinn's important contribution to a complete and balanced understanding of American history.
