Weal and Woe
The present volume of the Kampen research group in practical theology and ethics reflects on some striking results of quantitative and qualitative research among Dutch students of Christian teacher colleges. Most of the students, who are preparing for the profession of primary school teacher, make hardly any reference to religious concepts such as salvation or evil. Three interviews bring to light interesting constructions of biography, religion and faith, in which relations with parents, friends, and fellow students along with the struggle for a coherent (religious) view on life figure prominently.

Addiction and Spiritual Transformation
This study explores the relationship between addiction and spiritual transformation. More specifically, it examines how recovering drug addicts employ testimonies of conversion and addiction to develop and sustain a sense of personal unity and create meaning from varied experiences in life. Drawing on 31 original autobiographies, the book analyzes conversion and addiction testimonies in two European contexts: Serbia and The Netherlands.

The Invisible Wounded Warriors in a Nation at Peace
Although there has not been war in Swedish territory for many years, this does not mean that the country has no veterans who have experienced the challenges of war zone deployments or suffer from combat trauma. The Invisible Wounded Warriors in a Nation at Peace gives a rare look at the international operations of the Swedish military, while offering the reader a unique and deeper understanding of life with PTSD. The book uses terms such as moral injury to further describe the complexity. Complex PTSD after deployment in a conflict zone is a uniquely complicated web of problems that can have medical, psychological, moral, existential and spiritual dimensions. The book discusses what this might mean from an identity and pastoral care perspective. Jan Grimell is a postdoctoral researcher at the Department of Sociology at Uppsala University. He has also conducted postdoctoral research in spiritual care at the Unit for Research and Analysis within the Church of Sweden. He is affiliated with Linnaeus University and the Amsterdam Centre for the Study of Lived Religion at Vrije Universiteit.
Reconsidering the Uniform
This longitudinal study follows nineteen Swedish service members as they transition from military to civilian life, and grapple with their own questions of losing profound military identities, communities, meaning and purpose in life, in addition to exploring alternate cultural identities. The findings present existential, implicit religious and spiritual ways of reconsidering the uniform through new and/or preexisting identities. Dissertation.

Miyazaki's Animism Abroad
After winning an Oscar for Spirited Away, the Japanese director Hayao Miyazaki's animated films were dubbed into many languages. Some of the films are saturated with religious themes distinctive to Japanese culture. How were these themes, or what Miyazaki describes as "animism," received abroad, especially considering that they are challenging to translate? This book examines how American and German audiences, grounded on Judeo-Christian traditions, responded to the animism in Miyazaki's Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind (1984), My Neighbor Totoro (1988), Princess Mononoke (1997), Spirited Away (2001), and Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea (2008). By a close reading of adaptations and film reviews, and a study of transitions in their verbal and visual approaches to animism, this book demonstrates that the American and German receptions transcended the conventional view of an antagonistic relationship between animism and Christianity. With the ability to change their shapes into forms easily accessible to other cultural arenas, the anime films make a significant contribution to inter-religious dialogue in the age of secularization.
Bibliotherapeutische Arbeit mit Comics
Das vorliegende Buch stellt eine Vernetzung von Religionspädagogik, Bibliotherapie und Comicforschung vor und ist damit ein Novum in der Innovation des Religionsunterrichts. Es geht um die Bedeutung des Bildes für religiöse Lernprozesse, um umfassende Ausführungen zur Bibliotherapie sowie zur Religionspädagogik und Comictheorie. Drei Unterrichtseinheiten mit kinderliterarischen Comics verweisen darauf, dass mit der Verbindung von Bild und Text differenzierte Lernangebote für heterogene Lerngruppen realisiert werden können. Im Rahmen einer explorativen Studie werden ermutigende Lernprozesse belegt.
Fußball - Kunst, Kultur, Religion
"Fußball bereits im Alten Rom!" Der wohl berühmteste Hoax der deutschsprachigen Wissenschaftsgeschichte ist ein Artikel über Fußball in der Antike. Der Erfolg des Hoax belegt: Selbst für Fachwissenschaftler*innen der Gegenwart erscheint eine Vergangenheit ohne Fußball schlechterdings undenkbar. Die allzeitige und allseitige Aktualität von "Fußball in Kunst, Kultur und Religion" - das war Thema einer interdisziplinären Ringvorlesung an der TU Dortmund im Wintersemester 2018/19. Denn wo ließe sich der Universalität des Fußballs besser gerecht werden als an einer Universität im Herzen des Ruhrgebiets?
