The Norwegian educational landscape in the years after the Second World War must be seen against the development of the welfare state, and it appears as a part of the social democracy project typical for Norway at that time. The Labour Party, which held a prominent position in the educational landscape in the post-war decades, is normally regarded to have been an important driving force behind secularization of schools in Norway, not least because the total number of weekly lessons in religious education gradually was reduced. This book problematizes this thesis and enlightens how important politicians and policymakers within the Labour Party defended religious education. A central point is that this defense must be seen within the frames of a liberally oriented protestant theology. Thus, the study highlights the diversity of ideas in Norwegian politics in the post-war period and demonstrates how important impulses in Norwegian politics can be viewed against a wider international background. 606 $aHISTORY / General$2bisacsh 610 $aCultural history. 610 $aNorway. 610 $aeducation. 610 $asecularization. 615 7$aHISTORY / General. 700 $aRoos$b Merethe, $4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0893602 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996580169603316 996 $aThe Quest for a New Education$94148307 997 $aUNISA
