This volume brings together contributions from the ongoing
conversation among New Testament scholars from the Nordic
Countries, namely Denmark, Iceland, Finland, Norway, and Sweden.
The aim is to challenge the New Testament texts and their
interpretations but also to be challenged by these texts and
interpretation (ie: how to read, interpret and contextualise the
impact of these texts, and how to conceptualise the power and
authority attributed to them). As neighbours in peripheral Europe,
partly sharing language and history, scholars of this region also
aim to participatie in the broader international discourse. The
fact that their common academic language is English begs the
question whether many of the current essays could have been written
in different settings, since they do not explicitly reflect on
contextual issues. Or is this the case? What characterises that
part of the world are social democracies with relatively high
standards of living, a strong protestant past but an increasing
multicultural population, public welfare systems, and gender
equality. Public universities still have money and can prioritize
mobility and internationalisation.
