The Nordic Bible: Bible Reception in Contemporary Nordic Societies (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9783112213629)

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-?-vis the historical genesis of the Nordic welfare states, the focus here is on public use of the Bible in debates of today.
