  • Dealing with the Media Circus

    Paul BoyerARTICLEBulletin for the Study of Religion2024

    In The Archive, we republish an article that, in hindsight, may have been ahead of its time with its prescience. Our pull for this issue is a reflection by the late Paul Boyer (1935-2012) from 1998 on what it is like to work with the media in the wake of the Heavens Gate suicides because they presume his work in contemporary American belief in biblical prophecy makes him a “cult expert.” This piece was originally published in the April 18, 1997 i…

  • Religion and the Culture of Print in Modern America

    Barbara E Lacey, Charles L Cohen et al.ARTICLEJournal of American History2009

    This book originated in papers presented at a 2004 conference sponsored by the Center for the History of Print Culture in Modern America at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, and focuses principally on Protestantism in postbellum and modern America. The history of religious print culture in the United States is a new interdisciplinary field, one derived from the history of the book, as developed in good measure by David D. Hall, and from relig…

  • Globalizing American History

    Paul BoyerARTICLEDiplomatic History2003

    When a benefactor recently gave New York University a Tuscan villa called La Pietra, NYU historian Thomas Bender thought creatively. Launching a “Project on Internationalizing the Study of American History,” Bender proposed a series of summer conferences at La Pietra at which historians would consider the state of American historiography in a “self-consciously global age” (p. vii). Accordingly, from 1997 to 2000, a total of nearly eighty scholars…

  • Purity in Print

    Paul S Boyer, Paul BoyerBOOKPurity in print2002

    The first edition of Purity in Print documented book censorship in America from the 1870s to the 1930s, embedding it within the larger social and cultural history of the time. In this second edition, Boyer adds two new chapters carrying his history forward to the beginning of the twenty-first century

  • Nuclear Dynamite

    Paul Boyer, Paul D Boyer et al.ARTICLEJournal of American History2001

    In the late 1950s, as part of the Atomic Energy Commission's Atoms for Peace program, the physicist Edward Teller and other scientists at California's Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory set out to identify largescale engineering projects that could supposedly be facilitated by controlled nuclear explosions. As a trial run for one such scheme, a new canal across Latin America, Teller and company devised a plan to blast out a deepwater harbor i…

  • Two Centuries of Christianity in America

    Open AccessPaul BoyerARTICLEChurch History2001Referências: 11

    While the year 2000 did not prove to be the eschatological blockbuster that some of our bolder Bible prophecy popularizers anticipated, nor the year when all our computers melted down, as some Y2K alarmists predicted, it did provoke some historians to step back from their usual topics of inquiry to attempt to sum up in a broad overview fashion some of the major developments in the century just past. A spate of books like Harvard Sitkoff's edited …

  • Exotic Resonances

    Paul BoyerARTICLEDiplomatic History1995

    The fiftieth anniversary of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima invites reflection on the role of this event in American memory. And “Exotic Resonances,” the topic of a 1978 physics conference at Hiroshima University, seems an apt title for such an essay. Since 1945, “Hiroshima” has indeed resonated in U.S. culture and public discourse, and the resonances have often been exotic, as the word's meaning has been debated, contested, and exploited. For me…

  • The End of History

    Robert B Westbrook, Paul BoyerARTICLEReviews in American History1993

    Returning to survey the aftermath of the disastrous confrontation in Waco, Texas between the national state and the Branch Davidian followers of David Koresh, novelist Larry McMurtry noted perceptively that the whole approach of federal agents to these prophetic believers was flawed by the assumption that they would behave predictably. Government may proceed on that assumption, he observed, but faith needn't; and one doesn't have to be much of a …
