"""This is an excellent book. I think it will come to be regarded as a crucial contribution to the understanding of our identity as Nordic people - and in my case as a Finn"" Henrik Stenius, historian and founding director of the Centre for Nordic Studies at the University of Helsinki, Finland ""Nelson demonstrates, with great skill, how Lutheranism strongly influenced the development of the Nordic welfare states"" Uffe Ostergard, historian and Professor Emeritus, Copenhagen Business School, Denmark ""Nelson's synthesis will provide important new insights for historians, sociologists, philosophers, and theologians. Finally, we have a Lutheran counterpart to Max Weber's famous analysis of ethics and society in Calvinist parts of Europe. This book is bound to become a classic"" Charlotte Appel, Associate Professor of History, Aarhus University, Denmark ""The book's rich, thought-provoking arguments about the Lutheran sources of the spirit of social democracy in the Nordic countries are inspiring. I highly recommend it"" Hanne Sanders, Professor of History, Lund University, Sweden"
