Nordic Bible
Bible Reception in Contemporary Nordic Societies
Overview
The volume offers a new critical reflection on the use of the Bible in contemporary cultural and political debates in the Nordic countries.
In Nordic Lutheran societies, the Bible has been perceived as a basis of religion and social cohesion.
Whereas such religious and confessional factors are well-researched vis-à-vis the historical genesis of the Nordic welfare states, the focus here is on public use of the Bible in debates of today.
