Abstract:

This thesis investigates Thucydides’ representation of Greek religion in his account of the Peloponnesian War. It demonstrates that Thucydides did not suppress the ‘religious war for the hearts and minds’ of the Greeks (Hornblower, 1992). In Thucydides, religion informs the outlook of the historical characters by shaping their perception of the world around beliefs about the gods, hope, and fortune, among other religious concepts. In disastrous moments, religious language and ideas are manifested in the speeches and actions of his characters as they make sense of their situation and respond to

Abstract:

This study inquires into the institutional identity of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints since its founding in 1830. The study takes a historical stance in discussing the relationship between American public perceptions and the Church's developing internal identity, tracing these changes through three distinct historical stages. Building on the works of historians and sociologists such as Jan Shipps, Armand Mauss, and Terryl Givens, this study hopes to contribute to the understanding of new religious movements and the progression from sect to church. The study finds that Mormon i

History<br>Ph.D.<br>This dissertation is a study of how religion is manufactured, policed, imagined, and defended in the modern United States. It traces the history of one group, MOVE, from its inception in the late 1960s to the present in order to illustrate how the category of religion functions in the modern United States. The central premise of the book is that MOVE people believed MOVE was a religion. They believed, nearly from the very beginning of the group, that John Africa was a prophet who communicated on behalf of the divine, that his Teachings were inspired and had supernatural eff

Abstract:

Syftet med uppsatsen har varit att studera framställningen av katolska kyrkan och den katolska religionen. Forskningsläget uppvisar ett resultat där katolska kyrkan under många århundraden var en marginell och misstrodd kyrka, och att en tydlig antikatolsk propaganda spreds från olika delar av samhället. Under 1800 och 1900-talet utvecklades begreppet nationalkyrka, en företeelse som kom att knyta starka band mellan luthersk kristendom ochsvensk nationalitet. I undersökningen har 3 dagstidningar och en veckotidning studerats vid åren 1928, 29 samt 1933, 34. Resultatet och efterföljande analys

Abstract:

Despite the prevailing rhetoric of religious liberty in the nineteenth century, Protestant religious values dominated historical and public policy discourses. Histories celebrated Anglo-Saxon Protestant triumphalism, while laws regarding blasphemy, temperance, Sunday observance, polygamy, and religious instruction in public schools, as well as the Federal Indian mission policy, amply demonstrated Protestant influence on various levels of American government.

This study examines the development of theories of civil religion in Hanoverian Britain.

This study describes the religious content of the Ciceronian corpus and reappraises Cicero’s religious stance. Chapter 1 develops a working definition of religion in terms of interested supernatural agents, briefly situating it within the historiography of religion. Support for this definition from scholars in a range of academic disciplines is demonstrated. It is then engaged in Chapter 2 as a tool with which to locate and classify religious material in the Ciceronian corpus, approaching the texts genre by genre and indicating certain difficulties encountered when seeking to divide the religi

In 1534, the English Parliament passed the Act of Supremacy. This effectively stripped all of the authority the Pope held in England and gave it to Henry VIII. Also because of the Act of Supremacy Henry VIII gained a new title: Supreme Head of the Church of England. However, there was a problem. The Act of Supremacy only vaguely defined the new powers that had been given to the King. Consequently, what exactly his new powers were and their limits had to be established. The other issue that had to be dealt with was the establishment of the canons of the Church of England. It was a new ch

Abstract:

The development of early Mormon religion is best viewed in the context of multiple discourses, each of which contained various competing symbols. These discourses shaped the mind and world-view of early Latter-day Saints and determined in part their behavior. Prophetic symbols existed simultaneously with other, more American symbols; and while neither discourse excluded the other, a prophetic discourse gradually came to dominate. At the same time, however, the American discourse in Mormon religion remained intact and continued to influence the behavior and actions of early Mormons.

Moreover, it seeks to determine the reasons behind the choice of this particular cult.

White people seemed to the Indians to have an abundance of spirit power, and many native religious efforts were aimed at capturing some of this power for themselves.

This dissertation is a biography of James McGready (c.1760-1817), a Presbyterian revivalist minister who lived and worked primarily in Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Kentucky, and Indiana.
