Honours Dissertation
The Eclipse of the Individual: Søren Kierkegaard, Varg Vikernes and the Scandinavian Church2017 •
This dissertation offers an in-depth analysis of the criticism Vikernes and Kierkegaard direct toward the tendency of institutional Christianity to negate individual identity. For Vikernes, this tendency is exemplified in the way in which Christianity was introduced to Norway in the 11th century, and its subsequent expansion at the cost of traditional Norse religion. Different regions within Norway had different rites and customs, and Vikernes blames the Church and state for eradicating these traditions and enforcing a ideology of conformity on a people for whom the concept of monotheism was alien. Christianity in Kierkegaard’s Copenhagen was similarly bound to the power of the state, but the history of its arrival in Denmark was far less violent and conflict-ridden. As a result of the close relationship between Christianity and political influence, Kierkegaard felt that the essence of faith as being a primarily individual matter was diluted. In its place stood a thoroughly mediocre and anti-Christian institution of deified civilized customs and tepid morality.

Networks and Neighbours
Marie Bønløkke Spejlborg, Anglo-Danish Connections and the Organisation of the Early Danish Church: Contribution to a Debate, Networks & Neighbours 2.1 (2014): 71-86From the late tenth century the external activities of Danish kings and magnates were focused on England. In the course of the following decades significant and wide-ranging contacts were forged. This paper will examine the role Anglo-Danish connections may have played in the formation of the Danish Church in the first half of the eleventh century. It considers the historical evidence of English presence on the ecclesiastical scene in Denmark from the late tenth century into the eleventh and suggests that the picture of English influence on early Danish church organisation is more complex than previously supposed.

Presentation for a Rostock-Copenhagen joint seminar on the Reformation (May 22-23). Through a comparison between the specific regulations on preaching in the Danish Church Ordinance and the postils of Christiern Pedersen and Hans Tausen, it is shown, that the postil of Hans Tausen was designed specifically and in tandem with the Church Ordinance in order to provide for the rural pastors. The comparison also shows, tentatively, that the association between the preaching of certain themes and particular days throughout the liturgical year, was intended to create new habitual associations to supplement the already existing tradition of preaching on certain themes on particular days.
Ditlev Gothard Monrad is the author of the Danish constitution and a contemporary of Kierkegaard. This paper describes Kierkegaard’s direct references to Monrad in four journal entries and it offers an account of Kierkegaard’s views on the People’s Church of Denmark as well as his conception of the political in light of the 1848-1849 revolution in Denmark. In short, Kierkegaard recognizes little to no distinction between the State Church and the People’s Church of Denmark, and he had hoped that the political events in 1848-9 would result in the reintroduction of Christianity only to recognize that it did not later in life.
