NATO and the Swedish Churches : Dealing with Defence Policy in the Midst of a European Crisis
(2022) In Occasional Papers on Religion in Eastern Europe 42(7). p.77-83- Abstract
- Excerpt: "Just like the rest of the population, Swedish Christians remain fundamentally divided in their opinions about the best way to arrange Sweden’s relationship to NATO. But the responses on the part of the churches also seem to hark back to bygone ages. National defense and foreign policy remain, in a country for centuries fundamentally shaped by Lutheran doctrine concerning the division between faith and politics, a matter for the political realm. A tense and potentially threatening geopolitical situation tends to reinforce long cherished views."
