(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2011-06-30)”Med smerte skal du føde dine barn,” sier Gud til Eva i Første Mosebok, og det som straff for hennes overtredelse av Guds bud. Noen tusen år seinere gjør det fortsatt vondt, men bibelfortellingene konkurrerer med andre fortellinger, enkelte av dem langt mer positive. Blant de mest positive finnes New Age-varianter av naturlig fødsel. Det å føde barn handler her om å ta del i skaperakten, om å ... -

(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2011-12-31)Nysjamanar sine konstruksjonar av kjønn er nært kopla til deira konstruksjonar av fortida.

Vietnamisisk religion : en oversikt med kommentarer til nyere forskning
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2011-12-31)Etter gjenforeningen av Vietnam i 1975, lukket de vietnamesiske myndighetene i stor grad landet og la til rette for en politikk der religionsfriheten hadde klare grenser.

Nattverd, kropp, erindring
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-06-02)Minnestudier har fra dets gjennombrudd på 1980-tallet vist seg relevant for religionsvitenskap og teologi, ikke minst gjennom studier av hvordan minnet opprettholdes og formes av skrift, kanon og monumenter. når oppmerksomheten i den følgende artikkelen skal rettes mot den kristne nattverdsforståelsen, kommer en ofte underbelyst side til syne: Erindringen har også en kroppslig dimensjon.
