Summary:The period between the French Revolution and the First World War can be characterized as the “long 19th century”. The time was marked by major upheavals and changes – the society changed from traditional to modern. During this process, various interactions arose between religion and other parts of society, not least in relation to social and political issues. Within a landscape characterized by modernization and secularization, religious culture faced changes. What can be said about these processes, and more specifically: what paths, forms, and expressions did they take in the Norwegian countryside? Faith, Society and Politics is a collection of scientific studies that address this overarching theme. The anthology presents new research on religious culture in Northwestern Norway in a changing and comprehensive historical period. Through the nine chapters in total, you can read about, among other things, the Hauge Movement, political priests, folk high schools, prayer houses, emissaries, prophetesses, schoolteachers, youth associations, organizational life and more. All of this provides insight into how religious culture became relevant in several areas. This indicates that religion and religiosity must be included in the analysis of the emergence of modern Norway.
