Reconstructing Religious Identity: Southern Baptists and Anti-Catholicism, 1870-1920
No full textThis dissertation examines how Southern Baptists utilized anti-Catholicism to reconstruct their religious identity from 1870-1920. It documents the beliefs, rhetoric, and actions of Baptists as they encountered Catholics both at home and abroad. It is the first manuscript detailing Southern Baptist perceptions of Catholics and Catholicism from the Reconstruction to the end of World War I. It offers a new point of departure for southern religious history by examining how the South's largest denomination responded to and was shaped by a non-Protestant religious group
Advancing Progressive Orthodoxy: William Owen Carver and the Reconciliation of Progress and Southern Baptist Tradition
No full textOne of the most important debates among scholars of southern religion concerns the reaction of white southern evangelical Protestantism to the modernizing influences that prevailed outside the region from the end of the nineteenth century to well into the twentieth century. William Owen Carver (1868-1954), longtime professor of Missions and Comparative Religion at the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Kentucky, lived his professional life between two worlds: the conservatism of southern denominationalism and the liberalism of mainstream Protestant thought and practice. Carver responded with guarded optimism to important theological issues such as ecumenism, liberalism, evolution, and the social gospel, and he challenged Southern
Baptists to incorporate the best of modern thought into Southern Baptist theology. Carver endured several major controversies throughout his career, but he always managed to silence his critics. His career shows how challenging the reconciliation of progress and Southern Baptist tradition can be

Becoming America's Ski City: Place and Identity on the Wasatch Front
No full text“Becoming America’s Ski City” explores how skiers remolded the political, economic,
cultural, and environmental landscape of Utah’s Wasatch Front, transforming the region’s valley
cities and mountain forests into a more unified yet contested space over the course of the
twentieth century. This process of incorporation centered on Salt Lake City. In particular, the
exigencies and experiences of skiing pushed Salt Lake Citians not only to recognize the
ecological ties between slope and city but also to build new connections. These links included
watershed regulations, land purchases, avalanche management, investment, federal boosterism,
marketing campaigns, urban planning, wilderness legislation, and the Olympic movement.
Skiing also represented a larger attempt to Americanize Utah and its predominantly Mormon
population. By shifting attention away from popular images of the state as an insular desert,
boosters attempted to build a stronger economy rooted in tourism that placed Utah more firmly
within mainstream American culture. Their partial success points to the ways in which skiing
eroded boundaries between city and periphery as well as state and nation. This process sheds
light on the blurred dichotomies that defined modern American life within and beyond Utah—
work and leisure, city and wilderness, region and nation—and the material and social changes
that they molded
