?:abstract
  • The article presents an overview of changing beliefs about Hell and perdition in Norway over the last four or five decades. Today a minority of the Norwegian population believes that after death people go either to Hell or to Heaven. These beliefs were shared by a majority in earlier times, but the percentage decreased quickly in the 1970s. This was the case also for members of the Church of Norway, while many members in minority churches still share beliefs in Hell and perdition. Pastors in minority churches also share such beliefs but add that they do not preach about such topics any more. In the Church of Norway, there is a doctrinal diversity in this area. Furthermore, all pastors and clergy underline that they do not believe in Hell as a place with eternal physical pain. The author lists several possible causes behind the changes, such as liberal schools and media, as well as increased acknowledgement in churches of the historical relativity of doctrines. This sociological essay ends with some challenges directed to theologians. (xsd:string)
