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.
