Bibelkommentarer i undervisning
This joint article, comprising five contributions, results from a workshop focused on the use of Bible commentaries in teaching at Swedish universities today. While each contribution presents a distinct style and voice, we all agree on the importance of learning how to use commentaries in higher education and, equally, the need for their active application. We also all welcome the development of more commentaries in Swedish. The first two contrib…
Digging for Roots
This article aims to ‘dig for the roots’ of the entanglement between secularity and the Bible in Sweden. By employing the concepts “religionization” and “biblical assemblages,” this study identifies and analyzes the interplay between perceptions of secularity and the Bible in the public debate on women’s ordination in the Church of Sweden (CofS) in the 1950s – a crucial decade in the secularization process of Swedish society. It identifies three …
Scripture and Secularism in Modern Scandinavia and Beyond
The aim of this special issue is to advance research on biblical reception in Scandinavian contexts and to offer new insights into the intricate relationship between religiosity and secularity more broadly. This is done by engaging with theoretical questions concerning religion, secularity, and biblical reception in the modern world. In this introduction, we contextualize the special issue in relation to previous biblical scholarship on the relat…
Preaching with AI
This study explores how Swedish preachers incorporate AI chats such as ChatGPT into sermon preparation. Based on interviews, chat logs, and sermon manuscripts from six priests in the Church of Sweden, the study uses relevance theory to analyse the preachers' prompting and evaluation strategies. The preachers primarily use large language models (LLMs) for brainstorming and inspiration, critically evaluating the AI-generated responses, guided by th…

Understanding the Paradox of (Im)Perfection
This paper adds to the growing body of literature on digitally mediated preaching by using actor-network theory (ANT) in conjunction with Amanda Lagerkvist's work on digital media as theoretical lenses to describe and discuss what we term "the paradox of (im)perfection". This paradox refers to the tension between an ideal of perfection and an ideal of imperfection (or vulnerability) as experienced by church practitioners who were "thrown" online …
From the Amphitheatre to Twitter
Ever since the theory of orality and literacy was introduced, it has provided scholars with a deeper understanding of the intertwined nature of culture and communication, as well as an appreciated tool for analysis. This is true also for the field of World Christianity. As the era of digital media emerged, the theory was developed as a tool to interpret digital culture as a ‘secondary orality’. This article critiques and cultivates this theory, b…
Co-Preaching
The preaching event is a complex process of communication and interpretation. The aim of this study is to describe and discuss how the preaching event is affected when it is digitally mediated and involves so-called "religious digital creatives" (RDCs). This is achieved through a case study of the preaching event at two Church of Sweden (CoS) congregations that offered pre-recorded, digitally mediated worship services. The research questions guid…
