    GÖTEBORGS UNIVERSITET Institutionen för litteratur, idéhistoria och religion Magisteruppsats i litteraturvetenskap ”etymologiskt uttytt: frälst.” En studie av det religiösa vittnesbördet i Majken Johanssons sextiotalsdikt ”etymologically speaking: saved.” A study of the religious testimony in Majken Johansson’s sixties poetry VT 2013 Författare: Moa Bengtsson Handledare: Jenny Bergenmar Abstract Master’s Thesis in Literary Studies Title: ”etymologically speaking: saved.” A study of the religious testimony in Majken Johansson’s sixties poetry Author: Moa Bengtsson Academic term and year: Spring 2013 Department: Literature, History of Ideas and Religion Supervisor: Jenny Bergenmar Examiner: Yvonne Leffler Key words: Majken Johansson, testimony, The Salvation Army, poetry of the sixties, nyenkel dikt, religious poetry The purpose of this thesis is to examine the religious testimony in the following works of the Swedish poet Majken Johansson (1930-1993): Liksom överlämnad (1965), Omtal (1969) and Från Magdala. Fragment ur en självbiografi (1972). A part of the purpose is also to investigate how Johansson phrases this testimony using a contemporary aesthetics. The thesis also studies how her works were received by the contemporary critics. The result shows that they tended to deprecate Johansson’s religiosity but were generally appreciative when it came to her poems. Several of them used the word testimony to describe her poetry. This thesis shows that the testimony is characterized by a type of realism that can be found in the Swedish poetry of the sixties, using everyday words and spoken language. The “I” of Majken Johansson’s poem is often a kind of persona, seeking to converse with the reader and by doing so creates a possibility for identification.

    Cabin, which proved to be formidable propaganda in the northern states. Yet her book is not mentioned in the diary. The portentous Kansas-Ne• braska Act of 1854 receives no attention. Yankee resentment toward "foreigners," as expressed in the nativist Know-Nothing movement, also goes without comment. One looks almost in vain for any influence of American politics upon the life of the Koren household or the community. Mrs. Koren helpfully portrays the homey side of the immigrant frontier, while at the same time fulfilling her responsibilities in the parish. There appears to be more of the domestic Martha and less of the devout Mary in her record. Nevertheless, the Koren experience is not limited to the parochial and the personal. As with many immigrant accounts, the universal transcends the particular, for those who wish to see. To dissect the diary would be unwise and unfair, depriving it of its vitality. Elisabeth tells her story honestly and straightforwardly. Like her Swedish neighbors in Minnesota and elsewhere, she survived the trauma of adjustment to the demands of her new environment and, in the process, contributed sig• nificantly to the development of church and community. From the vantage point of today she represents the numerous women who played important roles in the growing American society of the nineteenth century. ARLOW W. ANDERSEN Neenah, Wisconsin J. Irving Erickson. TWICE-BORN HYMNS. Chicago: Covenant Press, 1976. Among the last lingering ties with Swedish culture for a great many Swedish-Americans are the Swedish hymns, and the English translations of them sung to Swedish tunes, which they sang at home, in Sunday School, and in church.

  • Introduction
    On the Occasion of the 145th Anniversary of First Covenant Church, Minneapolis “The Best is Yet to Come” (Det bästa är kvar) (Psalm 119:57-64) Dan Collison October 6, 2019 Introduction 1. Happy 145th Anniversary First Covenant Church! Or, is it Happy 145th Birthday First Covenant Church. Happy birth-ver-sary? Happy anni-versi-day? Annual celebrations can be unusual and quirky for Churches because theologically speaking churches are people and not buildings, but buildings express a certain kind of personality of the people who gather in them. Churches are “birthed” because they are officially launched by a group of people. So, today is a birthday. And, yet churches have anniversaries too, because, well, they can tend to stick together through good and bad like some long-time married people. Birthday, anniversary, whatever we choose to call it, today is an important moment in the sweep of our congregation’s long history and everyone here is a meaningful part of that history. And, everyone here is invited to be a joyful part of what is yet to come because we really believe the best is yet to come. As with all of the human experience—our past informs our future, but the future is completely of our making with the help of God and the courage of willing souls. 2. The Scripture I have chosen for today is from the Hebrew portion of the Bible, Psalm 119. Psalm 119 is a shared holy text with the Jewish tradition and is like a religious relationships safety pamphlet as well as a historically significant text for the Covenant movement as well.
