Peace be with you! I'm a doctoral student in church history since autumn of 2022 with a particular interest in the relationship between the Pentecostal-Charismatic movement and warfare.

In my dissertation project, I look at how Pentecostals – the biggest group of conscientious objectors in 20th century Sweden – motivated their nonviolent stance and how it related to masculinity norms. This is in large part a continuation of my master's thesis, "Enemy Love and Apocalyptic Genocide" which contrasted Swedish Pentecostals' refusal to bear arms with their support for Israeli warfare in the late 1960s. This thesis was published in the e-book series Uppsala Studies in Church History.

Other subjects that interest me include miracles, economic ethics and ecotheology. I teach church history at Akademi för Ledarskap och Teologi. I've also written a number of books in Swedish, including a novel on Sweden's deportations of Christians to Afghanistan.
