Aims of the dissertation
The topic of the
dissertation is Accountability and ethnicity in a
religious setting: the Salvation Army in France, in
Switzerland, in the
United Kingdom and in
Sweden.
In fact, given the intrinsic tensions between the three terms
of the topic, it purports to address how everyday
(religious) conduct reflects the influences of ethnicity on
accountability practices.
In addition, the dissertation aims at framing
accountability. Therefore, its core is located in the
interplay between religious doctrines, religious conduct and
accountability practices. The worldwide scattering of God’s
people suggests that conduct and practices might vary. To some
extent, this can inform on human nature, which is not the
central concern of this doctoral research.
