Beyond Toleration

Abstract

Drawing on pamphlets and broadsides, newspaper exchanges, document collections, personal diaries, church records, and legislative journals, this book engages the question of how early Americans learned to live amid a great diversity of beliefs and modes of worship. It begins by explaining how the right of private judgment gained the status of an unquestioned assumption, and then recounts how the print trade expanded the meaning of this right, and a series of religious revivals transformed it. Beyond Toleration chronicles the subtle changes in public language and social behavior that occurred as official persecution ceased and social institutions became integrated. It shows how toleration first became law and then became irrelevant as religious establishments crumbled and an ambiguous concept called religious liberty triumphed. It demonstrates how the assumption that dissenting faiths were merely permissible gave way to the conviction that a variety of faiths deserved equal treatment. In the end, Beyond Toleration explains how Americans learned to live with differences in matters of the highest importance to them-and how they found a way to articulate these differences civilly.

Comparison of the color-evaporation model and the nonrelativistic QCD factorization approach in charmonium production

“…However, powers of v that do not arise from the orbital angular momentum are not reproduced in the relation (8). This fact has been noted previously by Beneke [25]. Now let us state explicitly the relationships between the NRQCD matrix elements that are implied by the CEM relation (8).…”

Heavy quark pair production near threshold with potential non-relativistic QCD

“…The Green function at the origin has a ultraviolet divergence that manifests itself as a pole 1/ǫ. Using MS subtraction and then taking the limit ǫ → 0 we find [34,35] …”

“…While this production has been extensively studied, the details of the production mechanism and hadronization remain an open question. Attempts at a consistent theoretical description of J= meson production have been made, but it has proven difficult to reproduce both the observed cross sections and the polarization [1][2][3][4]. An additional complication is that nearly 30%-40% of the measured J= meson yield results from feeddown of higher mass states ( 0 , c ) [5] which reduces the observed polarization with respect to that expected from directly produced J= mesons.…”
