Theological Anthropology in the Anthropocene
Psychology in Nietzsche's Criticism of Religion
Friedrich Nietzsche claimed to be a psychologist. This claim is substantiated in his criticism of religion. In this book, Jan-Olav Henriksen provides new perspectives on Nietzsche's contribution to such criticism by applying elements from attachment theory and self-psychology. The result is that Nietzsche's insights into the problematic elements in religion point beyond what he was able to articulate based on the psychological resources available…
God After the Church Lost Control
This book combines insights from sociology of religion and theology to consider the fundamental changes that have taken place in how people think about God in contemporary Western society. It can be said that God has become irrelevant for many people, often as a result of well-grounded ethical critique of churches. Here the authors argue for the necessity of rethinking God-talk in a pluralist and changing context and for thinking critically about…
Climate Change and the Symbol Deficit in the Christian Tradition
Exploring how the climate crisis discloses the symbol deficit in the Christian tradition, this book argues that Christianity is rich in symbols that identify and address the failures of humans and the obstacles that prevent humans from doing well, while positive symbols that can engage people in constructive action seem underdeveloped. Henriksen examines the potential of the Christian tradition to develop symbols that can engage peoples in commit…

En analys av förutsättningar för att ta etisk ställning till aktuella problem kring miljö och hållbar utveckling - med fokus på Sigurd Bergmanns bidrag.
Religion as the Other Source of the Modern Western World
Jürgen Habermas has recently published what is likely to be his final opus magnum. Here, he discusses the rather large topic constituted by the constellation between faith and knowledge in a Western context (Habermas 2019a, 2019b). He invites us to a journey over more than 1700 pages. When you place the work on your desk, the question presents itself immediately: Is it worth it? Do we find here a contribution that offers something helpful for und…
Christianity as Distinct Practices
Jan-Olav Henriksen reconstructs and analyzes Christianity as a cluster of practices that manifest a distinct historically and contextually shaped mode of being in the world. Henriksen suggests that these practices imply a complicated relationship between the tradition in which they originate, the community that emerges from and is constituted by that tradition, and the individuals who appropriate the tradition that these communities mediate throu…
Religion as Orientation and Transformation
In this book, Jan-Olav Henriksen presents an argument for understanding religion as an expression of different types of practices: those of orientation, transformation, and reflection. Instead of understanding religion first and foremost on the basis of doctrine and propositionally articulated belief, he argues that religions should be seen primarily as practices that mediate symbolic resources for orientation and transformation. The meaning of d…
Everyday Religion as Orientation and Transformation
Endsjø, Dag Øistein og Liv Ingeborg Lied
Bård Mæland og Tom Sverre Tomren (red.)
Shame, Desire And Marginality
How do elements from Christian doctrine help or hinder people when interpreting their lives? In what ways does such doctrine contribute to the shaping of personal and socially embedded phenomena vital for human development? What might empirical material contribute to in terms of providing a critical challenge to traditional doctrines relevant for such matters? These are questions that the present article wants to explore. As an empirical point of…
