This experiential-existential emphasis is theoretically based on physiological medicine of enlightenment and its theological roots are in pietistic religiosity and Luther\u2019s anti-philosophy. In this context I will question the nature of Laestadius\u2019 critique of metaphysics and rationalism and the way how it paves a way for the later despise of intellectual rationalizations of living faith within northern pietism.<\/p>\n Professor Hannu Mustakallio, Joensuu:<\/strong><\/p>\n Reformerna i den finska stiftsf\u00f6rvaltningen och hotet fr\u00e5n laestadianismen i nordkalotten under senare h\u00e4lften av 1800-talet<\/em>\u00a0(read pdf<\/a>)<\/p>\n PhD Student\/Researcher\u00a0Lis-Mari Hjortfors, Ume\u00e5:<\/strong><\/p>\n Laestadianismens betydelse f\u00f6r samernas liv, religiositet och identitet\u00a0 i lulesamiskt omr\u00e5de<\/em><\/p>\n Summary:<\/strong>\u00a0Lars Levi Laestadius som grundade r\u00f6relsen var same och h\u00f6ll predikningar p\u00e5 samiska.

Internal tensions, however, caused a split in which the movement at the end of the 19th<\/sup> century, resulting in an Eastern and a Western branch. The identity of the Western branch was based on a view of the congregations, which emphasized the need for submitting to the religious authority of the Lappland leadership. The concept of \u201cLappland\u201d thus took on a religious significance, which became the hallmark of the Western Laestadian group, also known as the Firstborns.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" LLL Online sessions at The 29th Congress of Nordic Historians: Lars Levi L\u00e6stadius \u2013 en reformator i den nordlige \u00f8demarken Lis Mari Hjortfors, Roald E.
