I study political bible-use in Sweden as part of the project "Scripture and Secularism", financed by Knut and Alice Wallenberg's foundation. I hold a PhD in Hebrew Bible exegesis from Uppsala University, and defended my thesis The Hebrew Bible Debated: A Reception Critical Study of Discourses concerning "The Old Testament" in Swedish Daily Newspapers 1987-2017 in 2022. My research interests focus on how biblical texts are interpreted, depicted, and used in various parts of the public sphere. I am particularly interested in how bible-use creates legitimacy, identity, and reproduces relations of dominance. Besides bible-use in newspaper debates and within political discourse, I have written on for instance bible-use on social media and within gangster rap.
