?TRO OCH TVIVEL? En studie om kristen tro i ett en g?ng sekul?rt men numera postsekul?rt Sverige
This thesis explores how participants and leaders in ?Alpha?, an introductory course to the
Christian faith, relate to and practice faith in Sweden. Sweden has often been viewed as a
secular country where religion has been seen as irrational, outdated, and as something that
belongs to the other but not to the self. Through the eyes of Swedish Christian practitioners,
this study explores what kind of relationship my informants have to Christian faith and God
while also exploring how Living in a secular or post-secular context affects their way of
believing and interpreting God and the stories written in the Bible. Furthermore,
understanding of the Bible is viewed in the light of the concepts ?mythos? and ?logos? which
highlights where Western explanatory models fail to explain and understand mythological
stories.

Landsortsdeckare - den nya hembygdslitteraturen? : Analys av tre deckarserier från Sandhamn, Kiruna och Öland
During the last years the number of Swedish detective stories which take place in the province outside the big cities has increased enormously. In this study I have analysed the novels by the three authors Viveca Sten, Åsa Larsson and Johan Theorin to investigate the connection between the milieu and the story and in what way it is involved in the crime riddle.They all keep to the formula of the classical detective story but represent different variations within this formula. In spite of the differences in their stories the basic pattern is the same. As their protagonists the authors are emotionally connected to the place in the novels. This connection it strengthen by the authors themselves as well as the publishing companies when introducing them on the market.

Sk?rselden i bilder, Makten ?ver sj?larna
This essay examines how art could be used to bring forth and clarify the Catholic doctrines of purgatory.
The research questions are:
?
How are the Catholic Church?s doctrines of purgatory illustrated in art?
?
How can the paintings affect the viewer and his/her notion on how to shorten the time in purgatory? How can art itself be used as a tool to achieve that goal?
The timeframe of the chosen paintings is mainly 14th to 16th century but an overview of how the purgatory has been illustrated after that time until the present is also given.
In order to answer the first research question, a painting from the 14th century has been analysed, using a method inspired by Patterns of Intention - a theoretical framework formulated by Michel Baxandall. A reception theoretic perspective according to Kemp, is used on a painting from the 15th century to answer the second research question.
The results show that purgatory is illustrated as fire and the souls are depicted as Living people, despite that a spiritual condition is visualized. The viewers at that time found the descriptions frightening, but the paintings also revealed ways of being granted indulgences, that is shorten-ing the time in purgatory. These ways were praying, making pilgrimages and giving alms.
