Pre-Christian Religions of the North: A History of Research and Reception

澳大利亚社会，像其他人一样，共享一个主要的西方文化，是欠的概念世界的前基督教北欧宗教的许多基本思想，艺术和文学的表达和重大的误解：考虑托尔金的幻想，命名一艘船洛基在2008年悉尼到霍巴特游艇比赛的意义，以及纳粹主义的基本意识形态。该项目将通过研究从中世纪到现在人们如何理解和使用北欧宗教，揭示我们社区对北欧宗教的普遍债务，从而揭示我们文化的主要影响之一。

The Australian community, like others that share a predominantly Western culture, is indebted to the conceptual world of pre-Christian Nordic religions for many fundamental ideas, artistic and literary expressions and significant misconceptions: consider the fantasies of Tolkien, the significance of naming a boat Loki in the 2008 Sydney-to-Hobart yacht race, and the underlying ideology of Nazism. This project will reveal our community's general debt to Nordic religions through a study of how people have understood and used them from the Middle Ages until now, thereby revealing one of our culture's major influences.
