Does anyone know of a good book on the intellectual history of war (or war and peace)? Like an introduction to and contextualisation of important works in the political thought on war, or similar.

Skulle kunna intressera dig faktiskt, min text alltså. Och om du orkar läsa hade det varit kul att höra dina åsikter.

Nya Historisk tidskrift ute - tema tro! Perfekt för alla oss som tycker det är kul när vanliga historiker och idéhistoriker sysslar med kristendom. Jag har bidragit med en essä om kristen offentlighet under 1900-talet.

Min vän och fd kollega Peter Karlsson har samlat ett antal teologiska essäer om svensk samtidslitteratur. Rekommenderar starkt; en typ av texter jag inte vet om någon annan kunnat skriva just nu.

In October, in Gothenburg, I am one of the speakers at a seminar about apocalyptic themes in Karl Ove Knausgård's The Morning Star novel series. I am currently reading the fifth novel in the series and am thoroughly enjoying the suite.

I am not terribly active in presenting or discussing at conferences/workshops/seminars this year; I am adjusting to new family life and new job, so I am hardly travelling. But two things I am really stoked about being part of in September/October 👇
