I am taking PHIL 490R, an independent study class for my religious studies minor with one of my favorite professors. There is one other student in the class with me, and so we are meeting with our professor in his office weekly and get to direct the course of our studies. The focus has been Mormon Studies, which I find fascinating, and my professor has made that topic his focus of study for many years himself, so he is extremely well-versed and knows what assignments to give us to read each week. At the end of the summer, the assignment was a larger research paper, which I love, and this is the result:
Latter-Day Saint Authority: Theologians and Critical Thinkers Need Not Apply
My other class this summer is another religion class titled Mormon Media and Culture (COMM 3780). For the final paper in this class, I needed to take 3 other papers we had read, analyze them, and come up with my final conclusion. We read many great papers during this class and so it was very hard to narrow down a topic that I wanted to focus on. Authority has always been something that has interested me when it comes to religion and so I chose to do my final research on that. Here is the result:
Authority in the LDS Church and the Impact on Personal Religiosity
