Redemption and reform in A Secular Age: Charles Taylor's interpretation of early modern Protestantism
This dissertation presents a critical historiographical study of Charles Taylor’s A Secular Age (2007), focused on his interpretation of early modern Protestantism. Its biographical research together with intellectual-historical analysis of Taylor’s writings as a New Democratic Party politician and social theorist demonstrates that his “story” is intended to function as a Gramscian-Sorelian social myth to cultivate solidarity and subvert capitalist hegemony in the tradition of socialist humanism. The dissertation then explicates how that intention causes Taylor to misrepresent Protestant theology and experience. Its analytic foci include Taylor’s phenomenological argument that John Calvin disenchanted the Lord’s Supper, his reading of Richard Baxter’s political theology as a teleological retrojection of scientific socialism and Stalinism, and the liberal pluralist philosophy of religion inherent in his interpretation of Jonathan Edwards’s experience of redemption as a kind of “fullness”. The underpinnings of Taylor’s approach are clarified from his intellectual biography: his formative engagement with Catholic Personalism, Catholic Action, Cité Libre, the Canadian Social Gospel, the Student Christian Movement, and the “Canadian Fabians” while studying History at McGill University (1949–1952); alongside an examination of his role in the post-1956 formation of the British New Left at Oxford (1952–1961), observing his familiarity with the first English edition of Gramsci’s writings, his rediscovery of Marx’s 1844 manuscripts, and his appropriation of phenomenology from Merleau-Ponty. The dissertation critically elucidates how these sources (mis)guide his narrative construction by empirically falsifying Taylor’s presentation of an intrinsic causal link between Protestantism and secularization through e.g., examination of Calvin’s theology of the Supper with attention to his emphasis on the sacrality of the consecrated elements. The dissertation illustrates that an intrinsically theological, empirical ecclesiastical history committed to the ideal of historical writing as literary mimesis more accurately represents Christian experience by writing a history of redemption rather than Reform Master Narrative

Evaluation of Feeding Alternative Feedstuffs Including Hydroponic Barley Sprouts and Carinata Meal to Dairy Cattle
The purpose of this dissertation research was to examine alternative feed ingredients not typically found in dairy cattle diets. In total, four studies were conducted to evaluate feedstuffs such as hydroponic barley sprouts and carinata meal and how they affect cattle performance. To determine how feeding hydroponic barley sprouts would affect growing dairy heifer and lactating cow performance two feeding studies were conducted. In the first study, inclusion of 14 % (DM basis) hydroponic barley sprouts (HYD) was evaluated in an ad libitum total mixed ration (TMR) compared to a control (CON) diet on dairy heifer performance during a 12 wk randomized complete block design study using 24 growing heifers. Results indicated that replacing ground corn and some soybean meal with hydroponic fresh barley sprouts maintained rumen fermentation, metabolic profile and heifer body frame growth with slightly decreased gain: feed. To further evaluate barley sprouts 20 mid-lactation Holsteins were used in a 6 wk randomized complete block design study. Milk production, metabolic profile, rumen fermentation, and nutrient utilization were evaluated. The HYD treatment consisted of a typical mid-lactation TMR with 8 % (DM basis) hydroponic barley sprouts and the control (CON) had corn and soybean meal as major concentrates. Lactation performance was not affected by supplementing HYD and plasma cholesterol and digestion of dry matter and organic matter tended to be greater for the HYD cows. Hydroponic barley sprouts can replace a portion of the grain mix and maintain rumen fermentation and lactation performance. As hydroponic barley sprouts are not available for commercial purchase and must be grown by the dairy producer, efforts were refocused in evaluating carinata meal, a potential alternative protein source in the dairy industry in the third and fourth studies. Carinata meal (CRM) is a brassica oilseed that is newly developed in the United States. In study three, 10 % (DM basis) carinata meal was fed in dairy heifer diets for ad libitum consumption. A randomized complete block trial conducted with 24 heifers evaluated a control treatment (CON) and a 10 % CRM treatment. Feeding CRM decreased dry matter intake; however, growth was similar between treatments. Metabolic profile, thyroid hormone concentration, rumen fermentation and total tract digestion of nutrients were not affected by feeding CRM. Overall, CRM could potentially serve as an alternative protein source for growing dairy heifers. For the fourth study, the first lactation trial in the U.S. was conducted to determine effects of CRM. It was found that cows fed 10 % CRM maintained milk production, composition, and fatty acid profile comparable to the control (CON) diet using 10 % canola meal. Metabolic profile and rumen fermentation were not altered when CRM was fed in a lactating TMR, similarly, thyroid hormone concentration did not differ between treatments. Amino acid composition of treatment diets and plasma was evaluated, and no differences were found. Solvent extracted carinata meal is a viable protein source for the dairy industry, for use in both lactating cow and growing heifer diets
