Stephan Borgehammar

born 1958, D. Th., professor of practical theology.

My main research interest is church life in Europe during the Middle Ages: divine services of various kinds, preaching, the cult of saints, monasticism, Biblical interpretation, theological thinking, church buildings and their symbolism, poetry and art. Because some of the texts I have worked on have been unpublished, I have had to study manuscripts and produce critical editions – a necessity that soon became a passion.

Medieval studies require collaboration between many different subjects; that is why I lead an interdisciplinary medieval seminar called Academia Lundensis Medii Aevi (ALMA).

Since the majority of my students are studying to become Lutheran ministers, my teaching is mainly about present-day church life, particularly in the Church of Sweden. I edit a yearbook for the study of church life in Sweden, Svenskt gudstjänstliv (founded 1926), and am active in the Zettervall Institute for debate on church buildings.
