Interfaith Dialogue in Christian Norway: Enactment of Inclusive Religiosity as Civilized Behavior

2017

Despite sparse scholarly attention from non-activists, Scandinavian interfaith fora are gaining momentum as a response to societal transformations of increased migration, world conflicts, and politically motivated violence. Combining theories of interaction, ritual performance, and civilizing processes, the article conducts a case study of public interfaith meetings held by a local interfaith forum in Kristiansand in Norway. Analyzing the meetings as organized cultural encounters, the study explores the transformative aspects of the events and it points to how the enactment of civilized forms of cross-cultural religiosity created within and by these public interfaith meetings is interlinked…

More than a leap of faith: the impact of biological and religious correlates on reproductive behavior.

2004

Using a conceptual model that integrates both social and biomedical factors of causation, this paper tries to delineate the pathways through which the reproductive characteristics of a multidenominational community are characterized. In total, 5513 historical entries from family reconstitution were available. Selection of data was guided by the inclusion of information about religious affiliation. Only married couples with children as well as single mothers with the relevant information were considered. Of these, 1855 entries were of Roman Catholic (C), 1143 of Lutheran/Protestant (L/P2), and 609 of Reformed Calvinist (R) denomination. The analysis documented differential nuptiality and fer…

God, Faith, and Death: The Impact of Biological and Religious Correlates on Mortality

2004

Marked denominational mortality differentials have been documented for various time periods and geographic locations. From a historical perspective, death rates among Catholics are often found to be higher than those among Protestants or Jews. Using a conceptual model based on the life history approach, biomedical and sociocultural factors of causation are extrapolated. In total, 5513 historical entries from family reconstitution were available. Selection of data was guided by the inclusion of information about religious affiliation. Only married couples with children as well as single mothers were considered. Of these, 1855 entries were of Roman Catholic (C), 1143 of Lutheran/Protestant (L…

Bearing gods in mind and culture

2011

Abstract Where do supernatural agents come from and why do they stay around? Within the biocultural study of religion one finds a growing tendency to answer these questions by weaving together two conceptual threads, which I will refer to as anthropomorphic promiscuity and sociographic prudery. Although descriptions of these theogonic (god-bearing) mechanisms can differ significantly, the theoretical pattern can be recognized in authors from a variety of disciplines. I illustrate this pattern using four books published in 2010: David Lewis-Williams's Conceiving God: The Cognitive Origin and Evolution of Religion, Pascal Boyer's The Fracture of an Illusion: Science and the Dissolution of Rel…

L’attuazione dello scopo pratico della legge tra giudice e legislatore: Rotondi e “Gli atti in frode alla legge”

2023

Nel lavoro di Rotondi, che si dedica con dovizia di particolari all’analisi dei numerosi casi pratici del diritto romano, emerge un’inclinazione metodologica che congiunge innovazione a controllo dogmatico, puntellato dalla refrattarietà alla rottura secca dei paradigmi preesistenti e dalla predilezione per lo sviluppo armonico che relega a eccezioni le soluzioni di continuità con le categorie giuridiche tradizionali. Ciò è vieppiù evidente nella sua riflessione sull’evoluzione del significato della parola fraus e sulla considerazione secondo la quale la fraus legi del diritto romano-giustinianeo fosse configurabile quale tecnica di interpretazione (al pari dell’aequitas e della bona fides)…
