Religious Origins of Democratic Pluralism
The Religious Origins of Democratic Pluralism focuses on explaining one of the riddles that fascinated historians and political scientists for much of the twentieth century, namely, the origin and development of Swedish social democracy. While othercountries in Europe experienced dramatic swings between radical and conservative political parties, which resulted in tragic experiments with totalitarian regimes, Sweden, by contrast, miraculously seemed to avoid these extremes, and instead maintained space for democratic discussion and even dissent. This peaceful transformation was facilitated by political actors who crafted the discourse of their debates in such a way that pluralism came to be ...
The Swedish Pietists: A Reader
Beginning in the 1830s and stretching into the first decades of the twentieth century, the Lutheran state churches of Scandinavia experienced a great spiritual awakening. At the center of this movement were devotional materials and sermons made accessible through colporteurs and booksellers throughout Scandinavia, as well as among immigrants in North America. Two of the most influential and widely-read authors of this period were the Swedish preachers, Carl Olof Rosenius (1816-1868) and Paul Peter Waldenstrom (1838-1917), who became household names through their immensely popular devotional journal Pietisten ("The Pietist"). Both men emerged from the long tradition of revivalism within the L...
Swedish and Finnish Historiographies of the Swedish Realm, c. 1520–1809
In the early modern era, two Nordic countries that are neighbours today, Sweden and Finland, formed one realm. Yet, modern history writing has largely ignored this unity, instead developing analysis and discussion in close connection to nationalistic ideas, national politics, and processes of state-building. Historians of both countries have therefore mostly approached their common past separately and academic history in both countries has taken its own course of development, leading to different emphases. This volume explores the common early modern history between Sweden and Finland from the Middle Ages to beginning of the 19th century, and how this history has been created in professional...

Ett motsägelsefullt möte
Fristaten Kongo har kommit att symbolisera ett av den europeiska imperialismens allra mörkaste kapitel. I spåren av koloniseringen startade Svenska Missionsförbundet sin verksamhet i landet under tidigt 1880-tal. Sammanlagt arbetade 124 missionärer för samfundet här fram till 1908 då kolonin övergick i belgiskt styre. De utsända kom från små omständigheter och hade sin bakgrund i väckelserörelsen med dess demokratiska folkrörelseanda. Samtidigt var de påverkade av tidens idéer om hur européerna förväntades civilisera andra folk. Vad hände när radikaliteten i missionärernas kallelse konfronterades med den kongolesiska vardagen och visionen om jämlikhet sattes på prov?...
