Summary of Sir Edward Anthony Wrigley’s work Urban Growth and Agricultural Change: England and the Continent in the Early Modern Period Sir Edward Anthony Wrigley is a well-known British demographer, who, in his paper Urban Growth and Agricultural Change: England and the Continent in the Early Modern Period, links changes in urban population to rising income per capita and agricultural productivity in economies before industrialization. In order to understand this relationship, we need to first follow Wrigley in describing how urban population changed over several centuries in England and how these changes were related to changes in real income. We need to first consider the 16th century. Between 1520 and 1600, when England experienced a…
As men and women made the long, harrowing journey across the Atlantic to the unknown, unwelcoming lands of the New World, religion to many of these pioneers was the only means to find comfort and hope amid battering waves and wicked cases of seasickness. William Bradford and John Smith were no different: religion was their guiding light, both consciously and subconsciously, in their settling of the New World. Despite the differences in Bradford and Smith’s approaches to recounting their histories of settling, both Bradford and Smith demonstrate through their prose and dealings with the Native peoples that religion was the most important aspect in all of their decisions; and in turn illuminate religion to be of the greatest values of European…
This verse, and the context surrounding it, is one of my favorites for the emotion of its story, and its importance to my understanding of the nature of God. The martyrdom of the righteous ammonites is one of the most horrible events described in the Book of Mormon; I can’t imagine what a test of faith it would have been for Alma and Amulek to not take action to prevent it. The fact that they stayed their hands is one of the strongest testimonies of the perfection of the plan of salvation that I know of, because the only way they possibly could have is through knowing that the martyred were truly being received unto God in glory. Alma’s explanation in verse 10 is crucial to LDS doctrine, because it provides an explanation for evil being allowed…

Mormons had to leave the presence of God in order to fulfill their potential, to test themselves using a mortal body they gained by choosing to come to earth (Purpose of Life). God set a plan that he would create an earth where the Mormons would live away from his presence for a time, they would gain a physical body, they would experience both joy and sorrow, and they would make choices that would shape their eternal character (Purpose of Life). The goal of their Earthly test is to return to their God as a more intelligent, more mature, and more compassionate being, basically to be more like him (Purpose of Life). Mormons believed that they needed to be the perfect being like God was in order to get to be with him. Mormon’s Goal is to get with God and to be with him in a…
Shortly after departing from the fur traders, I experienced a deep religious revival with God. Therefore, I thought this was a sign from God advising me to seek religious inspiration for my novel. Hearing of my dream, Gideon proposed that we travel back east to Illinois where the Mormons lived as a way to fathom how a newly founded Christian deviation has attracted so much gossip among the travelers we met along the western trails. After several months of dangerous snowy storms, we were finally able to set out east towards Nauvoo, Illinois to visit the famous Brigham Young. Accepting Gideon’s advice, I hoped to obtain another different religious perspective from my Protestant values to further progress my characters’ development.…
