About the book
The volume is apart of the series Studies of the Bible and Its Reception (SBR). The series explores the reception history of the Bible in a wide variety of academic and cultural context. This book 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.
