			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Last week, my colleague Karen Parna from Maastricht University obtained her doctorate with a thesis on the religious dimensions of the internethype of the nineties. I really enjoyed reading her book, <em>Believing in the Net</em>, which discusses the internethype as an example of what she calls &#8216;implicit religion&#8217;: an example of how an alleged profane phenomenon (Internet) may become an object of faith and a source of meaning. More information about this study can be found on the website of <a href="http://www.lup.nl/do.php?a=show_visitor_book&amp;isbn=9789087280758" target="_blank">Leiden University</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft" src="http://www.aup.nl/images/uploaded/editorial/id=2428.jpg" alt="" width="191" height="286" />My new book, entitled <em>Selfation: Dutch Evangelical Youth Between Subjectivization and Subjection</em>, is available from these sellers: <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Dstripbooks&amp;field-keywords=selfation+roeland&amp;x=0&amp;y=0" target="_blank">amazon.com</a>, <a href="http://www.bol.com/nl/s/algemeen/zoekresultaten/Ntt/selfation+roeland/Ntk/media_all/Nty/1/N/0/Ne/0/search/true/searchType/qck/index.html?_requestid=146114" target="_blank">bol.com</a> and <a href="http://www.aup.nl/do.php?a=show_visitor_booklist&amp;b=auteursaz&amp;auteur=Roeland%2C+Johan" target="_blank">aup.nl</a>.

<p><span>The once taken-for-granted notion of religion’s inevitable decline in Northwestern Europe is increasingly contested. Instead of gradually disappearing, religion seems to become more subjective, personal and informed by private experience. This book addresses the merits of this influential understanding of religious changes, qualitative in-depth study of evangelicalism among Dutch youngsters, one of the most popular renditions of Christianity in the Netherlands. Guiding the reader through the settings and communities in which evangelical youngsters nourish their faith, it critically discusses the ideological and moral repertoires that inform their religious lives, the ways their connection to the sacred is mediated and affirmed, and the implications of both of these for the discussions on the nature and fate of religion in Northwestern Europe.</span></p>
