Secular and Sacred?
The Scandinavian Case of Religion in Human Rights, Law and Public Space
herausgegeben von Trygve Wyller, Rosemarie van den Breemer und Jose CasanovaShaped by five hundred years of Lutheran impact and with a strong influence of big majority churches, Scandinavian secularity is a very interesting and fruitful material for the historical and contemporary theoretical debate on the secular. It can be discussed, for example, whether the strong position of Human Rights and of the Scandinavian welfare state might be interpreted in continuity with the historical influence of Protestant traditions. Is there something like a hidden sacrality implicit in the Scandinavian secular?
