medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Dear Daniel,
I agree with what has been suggested by George Ferzoco and Fredrik Fernbom.
Thanks to the work of Roger Andersson (National Archives, Stockholm), Stephan Borgehammar (Church History, Lund), and others, making use of the rich source material from Vadstena Abbey, the knowledge on medieval preaching in Sweden has increased greatly in recent years. Less attention has been focused on preaching in the Reformation period, however, and on the transition from Catholic to Protestant liturgy and preaching. Christer Pahlmblad, mentioned by Fredrik, is one of the few scholars who have tried to bridge the gap in his studies on Reformation liturgy and Reformation preaching (some titles: Mässa på svenska 1998, Luthersk påskpredikan i Norden, 2001, both with summaries in English).
PhD Student Joel Satterlee, History, Arizona State University, is doing work on Olaus Petri, which would probably also be interesting for you.
I think your approach is a highly interesting one, and I would be glad to discuss this matter further with you.
Best,
Anders Fröjmark

medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
I recognize that this is branching beyond the traditional
periodizaiton of the Middle Ages. However, I am seeking a
bit of information on the Swedish Reformation. In
particular, I am looking for contemporary narrative accounts
of preachers, and how preaching (whether as sermons or as
accounts of preachers) operated in Sweden. The issue at hand
is a discussion between the relationship between orality and
literacy with the introduction of early vernacular Swedish
liturgical books by the Protestants. I want to support the
claims of this relationship with narrative sources about
preaching and sermons in public rather than simply relying on
the early printed books and theories of orality.
Thanks so much,
Daniel
