Religious Change in Life Stories

Produktform: Buch / Einband - flex.(Paperback)

There is a growing interest in ordinary people’s life stories. This book provides a detailed analysis of eight Norwegian women and men and their stories about their lives. It focuses on their construction of images of self, society, religion and morality. In spite of a majority Lutheran church, Norwegians are demonstrating new ways of accepting and celebrating religious variety.

Gender also structures religion in contemporary Norway. Women are more religious than men, and women and men speak about religion in different ways.

It offers an analysis of the complexity of religion and culture, and the changing face of religion in contemporary Norway.weiterlesen
