  • The Laywoman Project: Remaking Catholic Womanhood in the Vatican II Era

    Open AccessCarol K CoburnARTICLEJournal of American History2021

    In The Laywoman Project Mary J. Henold “studies communities of highly active, largely nonfeminist laywomen at a particularly unsettled moment in the history of the American Catholic Church” (p. 2). She focuses on the ten years after the end of the Second Vatican Council (Vatican II, 1962–1965), a worldwide, media-covered event that ultimately produced sixteen documents that did much to modernize the centuries-old, global church.

  • Religion in the Modern American West

    Carol K Coburn, Ferenc Morton SzaszARTICLEJournal of American History2002

    Ferenc Morton Szasz, professor of history at the University of New Mexico, writes that, after three decades of teaching intellectual history, he considers “religion” one of the three “overarching themes” in American culture. Lamenting what he sees as its neglect by historians of western history, he further states that “a secular interpretation of regional history is a lie about the West” and “ignores a central component of the human experience, t…

    Jane M Pederson, Carol K CoburnARTICLEJournal of American History1994

    Defined less by geography than by demographic character, Block, Kansas, in many ways exemplifies the prevalent yet seldom-scrutinized ethnic, religion-based community of the rural Midwest. Physically small, the town sprang up around four corners formed by crossroads. Spiritually strong and cohesive, it became the educational and cultural center for generations of German-Lutheran families. Block provided a religious and cultural oasis-a welcome tr…
