The Study of Religion in Sweden: Past, Present and Future de Henrik Bogdan

The Study of Religion in Sweden: Past, Present and Future

Editat de Henrik Bogdan, Göran Larsson
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 3 apr 2024
This book provides a comprehensive examination of the study of religions in Sweden, from the early twentieth century to the present and shows how the intersection of national and social forces shape the study of religion in specific countries and contexts. It traces the establishment of the study of religions as an integrated part of Higher Education in Sweden and it critically examines the development of the most significant disciplines, themes and questions that form Religious Studies in Sweden. Demonstrating the interconnection between nationality and the formation of the academic study of religion, the book explores how Sweden is often described as the most secularised country in the world, yet the study of religions in Sweden has a long, rich, and diverse history. The book emphasizes the interdisciplinary nature of the study of religions, and bring together the voices of 30 scholars.

Recenzii

'This volume showcases how the study of religion is not universal, but often dependent upon a host of national, political and social concerns about the place and role of religion in specific countries. I hope this excellent collection will inspire others to reflect and write on the study of religion in other national contexts.'
