Lewis, one of the editors of the current collection, first moved to Norway in late 2009, he was unprepared to discover that so many researchers in Nordic countries were producing innovative scholarship on new religions and on the new age subculture. In fact, over the past dozen years or so, an increasingly disproportionate percentage of new religions scholars have arisen in Nordic countries and teach at universities in Denmark, Finland, Norway, Sweden and the Baltic countries. Nordic New Religions, co-edited with Inga B. Tøllefsen, surveys this rich field of study in this area of the world, focusing on the scholarship being produced by scholars in this region of northern Europe. 410 0$aBrill handbooks on contemporary religion ;$vVolume 11. 606 $aCults$zScandinavia 607 $aScandinavia$xReligion 615 0$aCults 676 $a200.948 702 $aLewis$b James R. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910797128403321 996 $aHandbook of Nordic new religions$93789129 997 $aUNINA
