Added to this strange mixture is the church's strong affinity for capitalism. As if guided by the Weberian theory of the Protestant ethic, the Mormons tie prosperity to their religion; material success is taken as a sign of the Lord's rewarding Mormons. Larry Dewey's father, for example, believes that the good things that have come to him since his conversion to Mormonism are directly attributable to the church.

...questionable contention. But it strikes me that Ms. Reisman's point of view reflects outmoded natural law thought and a Rousseauist sense of the social contract.

All are shown in full-color photos as well as instructional graph patterns. Kluger's historical commentary and analysis of her motifs provide an enriching dimension...
...Neil story is an interesting study of the New England Puritan work ethic at its finest. O'Neil played guard during a collegiate career at Salem State, where he obtained both his B.A. and M.A. in history. From there he entered the teaching profession at Revere (Mass.) High School in the fall...
