By Associate Professor, Ph.d. Brian Arly Jacobsen, University of Copenhagen

Explore the intriguing history of the religious evolution in Denmark, spanning from its historical roots to the intricate tapestry of its present-day beliefs. During four sessions, we journey through Denmark’s religious heritage and its contemporary challenges.

1. The constitutional commitment to religious freedom, the National Church, N.F.S. Grundtvig and other notable figures

2. The presence and impacts of minorities such as the Jewish and Muslim societies

3. The unique 'Civil Religion' and how it intertwines with rituals, politics, and the national ethos of being “the happiest people in the world”

4. Denmark’s complex blend of religion, law and cultural identity
