Religious Education in Finland: Promoting Intelligent Belief?
2000
This article discusses current dilemmas in religious education in Finland. Different interpretations of confessional religious education are presented in the context of the Lutheran tradition. Pedagogical applications of religious education advocated by Michael Grimmitt are explored as plausible approaches in promoting the religious understanding of students. The article presents some suggestions to enrich Grimmitt's pedagogy with a more argumentative approach, which unites both reason and feeling. Such an intelligent approach is arguably in accord with the pedagogical interpretation of confessional religious education.

The control of conscience: the Sacrament of Confession and the confessors’ manuals
2018
La práctica de la confesión auricular representó uno de los instrumentos más relevantes de la acción de disciplinamiento social ejercida por la Iglesia católica a lo largo de la Edad Moderna. A través del análisis de algunos manuales de confesores de los siglos XVI y XVII, este artículo se propone un doble objetivo: por un lado poner de relieve la importancia de dichos manuales para la formación del clero, por otro ofrecer una visión general del papel que los confesores tuvieron a la hora de disciplinar las conductas sociales e individuales de los fieles.
Le Confessioni religiose «del terzo tipo» nell'arena pubblica nazionale: problemi, dinamiche e tendenze operative
2014
The essay examines the legal status of confessional entities that have no agreement relationships with State, and who also did not obtainthe recognition stated by the 1929 law on «culti ammessi». It first discusses the difficulty such entities have experienced in achieving such recognition, which is mainly due to the practice adopted by the apical Administration - forced by legislative inertia in the field - which interprets the recognition very broadly, as a moment of the confesson's special «accountability», not stated by positive law. The lack of such «informal» status affects several aspects of the crucial choices that named entities make about the «style of presence» to be adopted in p…

Un asesinato en la Valldigna (Valencia, 1492)
2005
In 1492, a fatal robbery was committed in a small village in the Kingdom of Valencia. This article analyses the statements of the witnesses to a confession of this crime that were recorded in an Arabic document. The document provides evidence for the application of sharī'a law among Muslims in a territory that was no longer part of an Islamic state - in this case, the meting out of punishments for blood crimes. The survival of the document as part of the case file of the Christian court that adjudicated the case shows that the Valencian justice system considered valid documents produced by a Muslim judge, by a court clerk or by a notary. Moreover, these decisions were provided in Arabic wit…
When Venus stays awake, Minerva sleeps: a narrative of female sanctity in eighteenth-century Spain
2021
Written records of confession provide exceptional insight into private histories of women and the gender dynamics that shaped them. The sacrament of confession entailed an implicit inequality between men and women, given that the priest was considered to be shrouded in divine power while the penitent had to submit herself to his moral authority. Nevertheless, confession also offered women the opportunity to express themselves and to discuss and understand their spiritual concerns. Some hoped their confessors would recognize their religious charisma, which would involve an affirmation of individuality, autonomy and personal power. In Spain, we find key information about interactions between …

2018
Abstract In this paper, an attempt was made to understand whether the ideological proposal of the muqāwamah (Islamic resistance), advanced by Ḥizballāh from 1982 until the present day, can be considered as a national value that is valid not only for the Shia community, but also for other communities, such as Christian or Sunni.
