Urfolk' og 'mangfold' i skolens læreplaner: English title: "Indigenous peoples" and "diversity" in the school curricula
Since 1974, the curriculum for the Norwegian school has had a overarching part that puts the school and its content into a bigger social and political context. As such, this part of the curriculum is a highly political and ideological text that expresses the state's purpose and interest related to the school.

A review of theories on the Laestadian rørelse: On the academic construction of something extraordinary and exotic
An ecstatic phenomenon usually labelled with the emic term rørelse (in English literally stirrings, motions or movement) has been central in the description and theoretical interpretation of the Laestadian Christian religious movement in northern Fennoscandia. The article considers two tendencies in the scholarly discussion. Firstly, how the discussion relies on descriptions of the rørelse derived from an evolutionary research paradigm applied to…
Religion Education in Norway: Tension or Harmony between Human Rights and Christian Cultural Heritage
Both research and public and scholarly debate on religious education (RE) in Norway have mostly revolved around the subject in primary and secondary school called Christianity, Religion and Ethics (KRL) (later renamed Religion, Philosophies of Life and Ethics, RLE), not least due to the criticisms raised by the UN’s Human Rights Committee in 2004 and the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) in 2007 of the Norwegian model for RE in primary and se…

Regarding internet and official websites, there is ambivalence towards the opportunities which this technology and new media offer. Among the approximately twenty different Laestadian groups which exist in the Nordic countries and America, there are only nine official websites in 2012. The article provides a…
History as Religious Self-mediation: The Case of the Firstborn Laestadians
The Firstborn group is one of the main groups of the Laestadian tradition. As in Protestantism in general, the Laestadian movement has always been, and continues to be, a producer of transnational mass communication. This article's primary focus is the Firstborn group's self-mediation through minor historical books and booklets. This genre seems more developed and used among Firstborns when compared to other Laestadian groups. Here, an alphabetic…
Bruk eller misbruk
I artikkelen drøftes bruken av Ninian Smarts arbeider i en norsk kontekst. Særlig vekt legges på den brede resepsjonen som Smarts dimensjonsmodell har fått i tilnærmingen til religion. Artikkelen viser og drøfter hvordan dimensjonsmodellen har vært brukt for å legitimere et eksistensielt perspektiv på religion i norsk religionsdidaktikk og religionsundervisning, og drøfter hvorvidt dette kan sies å være bruk eller misbruk av Smarts modell
