Non-Confessional RE in Denmark and Rights to Exemption: A Study-of Religions cum Human Rights Perspective
Danish elementary school Religious Education (RE) dates back to the beginning of the Danish public schools in 1814 and remained confessional until 1975. In 1937, an option for exemption for teachers and pupils was introduced. However, the non-confessionalisation of the school subject did not indicate that the exemption was removed. At present, pupils (excluding teachers) may still be exempted. In this study, the authors examine the current situat…
From Respected Religion Scholar Expert to Cartoon Character: Reflections in the Wake of the Danish Muhammad Cartoon Crisis and Three Decades as Expert to the Media
Respected scholar, expert, public opinion maker, oracle, under-cover politician, charlatan, cartoon character – all roles “out there” waiting for scholars sharing knowledge with a wider public. Scholars of religion trying to carve out more room in the public arena for a nonreligious, scientific approach to religion always risk digging their graves as (respected) scholars. What’s worse, they also risk digging the grave for a valuable and respectab…

What’s in a (Change of) Name? Much—but Not That Much—and Not What Wiebe Claims
Donald Wiebe claims that the IAHR leadership (already before an Extended Executive Committee ( EEC ) meeting in Delphi) had decided to water down the academic standards of the IAHR with a proposal to change its name to “International Association for the Study of Religions.” His criticism, we argue, is based on a series of misunderstandings as regards: 1) the difference between the consultative body ( EEC ) and the decision-making body ( EC ), 2) …

Apologising for the study of religion - no way
An initial apology to religious insiders in the opening of Hughes' book got this review – of the book and of tensions in public and academic discourse about Islam and the study thereof – started. The book, after the strange initial apology, becomes a highly valuable introduction to a study-of-religion approach to Islam, incorporating both insider and outsider perspectives, including primary sources and critical analyses, and describing the multit…
RE in Denmark – Political and Professional Discourses and Debates, Past and Present
Religion education (RE) in the public school in Denmark, as in many countries, is often subject to political, public and professional debate, relating not only to different ideas about RE’s potential contribution to Allgemeinbildung, religious and/or moral formation and citizenship education, but also to reactions or responses to what is perceived as challenges posed by supranational processes such as globalization, individualization, and migrati…
From the History of Religions to the Study of Religion in Denmark: An Essay on the Subject, Organizational History and Research Themes
The history of the academic study of religion in Denmark resembles developments in other Nordic and European countries as it has moved from a primarily historical-philological and comparative 'history of religions' towards a broader 'study of religion(s)' that includes history of religions together with theories and methods from a wide variety of the human, social and today also natural sciences. Uppsala University was one of the three main cente…

Rennie stakes out his aim: to have Mircea Eliade, A Critical Reader serve not to “answer the questions raised for the academic study of religion by the work of Eliade,” but to “serve as a useful introduction for scholars at whatever stage of their studies who wish to consider these questions” (2). Rennie stresses that since the selection of texts has to serve for “a variety of readers, hence the incl…
