Hopefully a good sign that there is the begining of a comeback to our Jewish/Christian heritage.

With the hope of getting even the good news of the Holy Bible out to non-believers.

You mean, the Bible hasn’t been banned in Norway yet?

You can’t find something with nothing.
They’re likely looking around and discovering that militant secularism just can’t cut it in a battle with fervent Islam.

Good post. Encouraging news!

Probably the reason only 1% attend church is the state affiliations of the church.
The Bible will awaken new Christian trends. There may be a house church move that springs up.
After years of darkness of scandanavian dark pop junk like "Girl with a dragaon tattoo" and other existentialist garbage I'd say they are overdue for a sprititual renewal.
Thanks for the post.

The emptiness of post modernism and political correctness eventually chase people in the direction of the transcendent and meaningful.

The girl of the Dragon Tatoo series is kick ass when it comes to rapists. Maybe they could make a 4th movie where she kills muslims for raping her countrywomen.

Maybe they could make a 4th movie where she kills muslims for raping her countrywomen. Maybe, but somehow I think a steady diet of the timeless truths of the Bible is superior food for the mostly younger demographic who is into dark entertainment...especially the existentialist stuff of Scandinavia.

Probably the reason only 1% attend church is the state affiliations of the church. Of all the possible reasons that's probably about number 9,999 in importance.

A state church is a dead church.
Also, obligatory tithing keeps them away. I think these are strong contributing factors.

Amen! Sounds like a rich environment for some missionaries!

In someway I thing you are right. Seem Christians or either portaryed as crazy or weak. Time to bring back the Old Testment follower of God and Deffender of the Faithful type of hero.

A state church is a dead church. Byzantine Empire -- 1,000 years and the church persists even today.

I saw the English/Americanized version of the movie “The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo” (a year after reading the book), and while it was very closely tied to the book, at times it seemed to be just an excuse to have Rooney Mara naked on screen.
