- Description
- The authors argue that female religious communities represented an alternative form of life and a counter-culture in the Luteran Nordic society and highlight the tense relation between 'Catholic' and 'Nordic' values, between tradtion and modernity, and between Nordic and foreign.The articles focus partly on Nordic Christian women, Catholic converts and members of the established Lutheran churches who were attracted to regulated religious life and partly on sisters in Catholic religious congregations working in the Nordic countries.
