From Salvation to Selfation? Subjectivisation among Dutch Christian youngsters

Roeland will defend his PhD thesis in which he investigates whether the subjectivisation-thesis is a fruitful theory to describe and explain current modes of evangelical and charismatic Christianity among Dutch Christian youngsters.

His main question addresses the extension of these modes of religiosity in terms of subjectivization among young people.
