Project Details

Description

The aim of the network between Nordic universities is to develop a new and more precise understanding of the characteristics and backgrounds for changes in individual religiosity in the Nordic countries during the last three to four decades and to create a stronger network for collaboration among Nordic researchers in the field. The core substantive idea is to scrutinize and transcend three dominant theoretical narratives of religiosity - secularization, individualization and competition narratives.
