Ein unbeachteter Artikel N. F. S. Grundtvigs aus dem Jahre 1837 »Om det Ny Testamente i Grundtsproget eller om Alcala-Texten og Bibelkritiken«
Authors: Eisenberg Christian
Published: September 2020

En upåagtet artikel af Grundtvig fra 1837»Om det Ny Testamente i Grundsproget eller om Alkala-Texten og Bibelkritiken«.Af Christian EisenbergI 1516 udgav Erasmus af Rotterdam på et forlag i Basel den første kendte udgave af Det Ny Testamente på originalsproget, gr.sk. Denne udgave (.textus receptus.) forblev i 300 år grundlaget for de fleste udgaver af Ny Testamente på gr.sk. Men allerede i 1514 havde den spanske kardinal Ximénes de Cisneros i Alkala (lat. Complutum) i samarbejde med et team af skriftlærde (Complutenser) på grundlag af ældre håndskrifter end dem, Erasmus havde til sin rådighed, udarbejdet en udgave, der - sammen med en tilsvarende udgave af det Gamle Testamente, den skaldet »Polyglotte« - måttet vente så længe som til 1520 på at få Vatikanets tilladelse til trykning.Det er denne sidstnævnte udgave - .Alkala-Texten. - Grundtvig på Det kgl. Bibliotek i København har studeret og fundet langt bedre og pålideligere end den, der stadig var grundlaget for de udgaver, de teologiske studenter læste under deres studium af de bibelske tekster i originalsproget. De hvilede på textus receptus. Den havde nemlig været grundlaget for Martin Luthers tyske oversættelse af det Ny Testamente, det såkaldte »September-Testamente«. Fra Grundtvig argumenterer derfor udførligt i en artikel i Nordisk Kirke-Tidende for aaret 1937, udgivet af Jacob Christian Lindberg, for, at de nordiske præster bør studere »Alkala-Texten«. ved siden af den, de kendte fra deres teologiske studium. Han vidste dengang ikke, at den klassiske filolog K Lachmann allerede i 1831 havde udgivet det Ny Testamente på græsk i en udgave, der lagde hovedvægten på de ældste og pålideligste håndskrifter. Denne udgave fik stor betydning for de senere udgaver.Grundtvigs artikel vender sig først og fremmest mod de tyske bibelkritikere, især teologen J.J. Griesbach, hvis kritik ikke lagde vægten på de ældste og pålideligste håndskrifter, men på en teologisk begrundet kritik af den almindeligt brugte tekst (textus receptus). Dette princip forkaster Grundtvig, fordi hovedsagen i studiet af det Ny Testamente m. v.re at komme den originale tekst i grundsproget så når som muligt. Han nærmer sig derved den nuværende kritik af den ældre bibelkritik. Grundtvigs ønske er dels en lommeudgave af Ny Testamente pi grundlag af Alkala-teksten, dels en udførlig videnskabelig tekst på samme grundlag.Artiklen - såvel Eisenbergs som Grundtvigs - præciserer dermed tillige den kristne religion, »Dåbspagten«, og den videnskabelige oplysning af denne religion, teologien, i Grundtvigs sprog »Kirke-Skolen«.

Grundtvig, Laub og kirkesangen
Authors: Thyssen Peter
Published: September 2020

Grundtvig, Laub and Church Singing.By Peter ThyssenThe article deals with the importance that Grundtvig’s hymn writing acquired for the development of church music in Denmark through the 19. and 20. centuries. At first, the lack of tunes for the hymns written by Grundtvig for his own metres, resulted in the appearance of a great number of romantic hymn tunes which became widely used in church singing all over the country through the 19. century. Compared with these new lively and romantic tunes, however, the old chorales, isorhytmical at that time, were bound to seem more and more »stiff« and »dead« when used in the church service. Inspired by the reform movements in church music, which had developed in Germany since the 1840s, Thomas Laub (1852-1927), the organist and composer, advocated a restoration of the old chorale tunes in accordance with their original melodics, rhythmics, and tempo (in his book Om kirke-sangen (On Church Singing) from 1887). After his work on the restoration of the old church tunes in the years 1888-1910, Thomas Laub embarked in earnest on the task of composing new tunes for Grundtvig’s hymns (thus, out of 100 original hymn tunes by Laub, 68 were composed for hymns by Grundtvig). Laub’s hymn tunes were written with .the old church tone. as a source of inspiration, but are equally influenced by the late romantic tone of his own age.The point then is that Laub’s work on the historical and modem mode of expression of church music can be understood as a parallel to Grundtvig’s hymns, viz. as a »renewal on the foundation of the old church« - a programme that Laub himself explains in the book Musik og kirke (Music and Church) from 1920. Owing to this »Grundtvigian programme«, Laub’s tunes have not only achieved a unique congeniality with Grundtvig’s hymns; among Danish church composers Thomas Laub is also the one who has created the largest number of original hymn tunes still in use in church services in Denmark today. Thus, modem Danish church singing has been decisively influenced by the two »learned artists«, N.F.S. Grundtvig and Thomas Laub.

Barnet i haven - en analyse af et grundtvigsk motiv og dets rødder i en tidlig litterær tradition
Authors: Wigh-Poulsen Henrik
Published: September 2020

The Child in the GardenBy Henrik Wigh-PoulsenIn the poems, .Udby Have. (The Garden of Udby) and .Til Sibbern. (To Sibbern) - from the collection »Nytaarsgave« (New Years Gift), 1812 - Grundtvig describes his homecoming in the summer of 1811 after his dramatic crisis of faith the same winter. He describes his homecoming to the idyllic countryside, to his father’s house, to the garden of his childhood, and, first and foremost, to Christianity.In the poem .Til Sibbern., Grundtvig - at that time a curate in his father’s parish - addresses his friend, Sibbern. Writing in his parents’ garden on a fine summer’s day, Grundtvig looks back upon his recent flight from Copenhagen, his ordination, and the comfort and courage he gathered while reading his New Testament, resting on a stone on the edge of some small forest, just before his arrival at the place where he grew up.This place, the home and the garden of his childhood, is the main subject of the other poem, .Udby Have.. The garden, encircling the old rectory, has witnessed his childhood and his childish absorption in the historical books from his father’s library.In the garden he became devoted to »Saga«, and with the faith of the child he learned the true humble and innocent attitude towards her. The garden has also witnessed his years of growth, his departures and homecomings, his doubts, his crisis of faith, and his final conversion, and now his permanent peace of mind. At the time of writing this poem, Grundtvig has regained the true attitude of childish innocence. He has refound God and »Saga«.The article argues that several of the themes found in the two poems - themes of coming home to the garden and countryside, of growing up, of losing and regaining the paradise of childhood, of preparing for greater tasks - all originate in a broader literary tradition, the .pastoral.. The pastoral has its roots in both Biblical and secular writing and was an influential genre in the 18th century as well as in the period of Romanticism, although in different forms.Furthermore, it is argued that Grundtvig uses this pastoral tradition in two different ways. First, in direct opposition, scorning the shallow, ornamental poetry of nature of the 18th century. Second, as it has been shown, he uses the pastoral tradition as a creative element with strong romantic implications and Biblical associations, to depict the regained innocence and belief of the child.

Irenæus. 3die Bogs 40de Kapitel. Tekstudgivelse
Authors: Jacobsen Anders-Christian
Published: September 2020

Irenæus. Book III Chapter 40By Anders-Christian Lund JacobsenIn this article I present and comment on a hitherto unprinted text from Grundtvig’s posthumous writings. The text is a translation of Irenaeus’s Adv. haer. 3,24,1-2. In the Irenaeus text corpus the pericope is part of the conclusion of the argumentation in the third book, the main theme of which is providing arguments for the Father and the Son being one. According to Irenaeus, this can only be maintained if it is simultaneously maintained that the faith which is preserved and transmitted by the Church is the only true one.For the Spirit, which is truth, is only in the Church. Grundtvig probably knows this argumentation, which appears from two verses that he wrote in connection with the translation.In my view Grundtvig translated the text in 1854. In that year he quoted a passage from the text in the preface to the revised translation of the fifth book of Adv. haer., and he recreated the same passage in a verse in Christenhedens Syvstjerne (The Seven Star of Christendom).The reason why Grundtvig translates this pericope from Adv. haer. in 1854 is that he is working on a re-wording of his view of the congregation. He now attributes great importance to the congregation as the place where the Spirit works for faith and salvation. The Spirit is the Spirit of community. This view of the congregation is a natural consequence of the matchless discovery that faith is founded on the confession heard in baptism. This view of the congregation does not, however, reach full maturity until the mid-1850s under the impression of Søren Kierkegaard’s individual Christianity. Irenaeus has been one of the sources of inspiration for this new view of the congregation as a vessel, in which true faith is preserved and handed down, because the Spirit works in the congregation.

Noget om Myterne omkring den Clausenske injuriesag og Grundtvigs censurperiodes afslutning
Authors: Dam Poul
Published: September 2020

Historical Aspect; concerning the Civil Liberals against GrundtvigBy Poul DamFor eleven years, viz. 1826-1837, Grundtvig had to submit all that he wanted to publish in Denmark to the public censor. A prolific and serious writer like Grundtvig must necessarily have felt this as highly embarrassing, and many of his biographers have painted his ordeal in dark colours, in fact much darker than Grundtvig did himself.Certain facts have indeed been misunderstood to such an extent that even very competent writers have believed and repeated distorted and/or simplified renderings of the actual background.In 1826 Grundtvig published a very harsh attack on a book by the theologian H.N. Clausen, who reacted by bringing a civil libel case against Grundtvig. The court found him guilty of using unseemly language, but not of libelling Clausen, and fined him quite leniently. The probably unforeseen consequence of the sentence, which is quoted in full in the article, was, however, to make Grundtvig subject to lifelong censorship. This was not mentioned at all in the court proceedings, however, since it followed without in all cases when the accused was not acquitted completely. Consequently Grundtvig was not actually sentenced to censorship. The law was modified in 1837 in such a way that Grundtvig could ask to be exempted from censorship, and this happened towards the end of that year.His first book after that to be published without the despicable »imprimatur« of the censor contained a rather long poem about the mother tongue, quite literally defined as the tongue of the mother, of women. A short selection of the verses from this poem has been used as a »national« song praising the Danish language, and this may explain why some writers believe the poem to have been written in a joyful mood directly after the lifting of the censorship. That is an unsubstantiated and more than doubtful construction, however, as nothing in the poem points to a connection with Grundtvig’s actual experiences in 1837.In addition, the article stresses that Grundtvig and Clausen did not remain enemies for life, as many writers have suggested. Both of them came to regard the bitter fight of 1826 as something to regret.
Tord Ehnevid in memoriam
Authors: Nilsson Gert
Published: September 2020

In Memory of Tord Ehnevid, 1922 - 2000By Gert NilssonDoctor of divinity Gert Nilsson’s obituary of the Swedish Grundtvig scholar Tord Ehnevid begins with a presentation of Ehnevid’s background and his point of departure. Ehnevid was bom into an evironment characterized partly by revivalist piety, partly by Swedish State Church tradition, a fact which came to influence his later research. Tord Ehnevid studied theology at Lund and took holy orders in 1947. After working as a clergyman for some years, continuing his studies at the same time, he became a curate in Trelleborg in 1958, and subsequently worked as a grammar school teacher at Söderslatt Grammar School until his retirement.In 1959 his doctoral thesis Församlingsetik Studier over Grundtvig, Morten Pontoppidan och Einar Billing was published. The thesis focuses on the national church and its congregational ethics, comparing important positions in Danish and Swedish theology. In the following years Ehnevid published a number of writings in Grundtvig Studier, such as The dominant Peoples in History according to Grundtvig and Hegel in 1973. In »Vad Sandhed er skal tiden vise«, 1998, Ehnevid deals with the concept of truth, time and ethics in Grundtvig’s works.From the early 1970’s Tord Ehnevid was a member of the Grundtvig society committee. And as late as 1998 he participated in the annual meeting in Århus. With Tord Ehnevid’s decease, a good clergyman, a competent pedagogue and an original interpreter of Danish and Swedish theology has passed away. His ideas and writings will live.

Before Irenaeus: The Making of Grundtvig the Medievalist
Authors: Bradley S. A. J.
Published: September 2020

Before Irenæeus: The making of Grundtvig the medievalist.[Før Irenæus: Hvordan Grundtvig blev middelalder-forsker]Af S. A. J. BradleyI Grundtvig-forskningen støder vi i disse ar pa stadig flere vidnesbyrd om det forhold, at Grundtvigs mode - i arene 1815 og frem - med den tidlige kristne middelalder via den oldengelske litteratur bragte ham i kontakt med oldkirkelige kristendomstolkninger, der havde fundet nedslag i digte og prosatekster, der var skrevet pa det daværende angelsaksiske sprog. Derudover åbnede disse tekster hans øjne for nye perspektiver og sammenhænge, præsenterede nye ideer og føjede nye lag til i det symbolfyldte sprog, han livet igennem gjorde brug af i såvel prosa som digtning. Blandt de betydningsfulde tekster, Grundtvig mødte, bor nogle stykker fremhaves. Det galder først og fremmest hele det komplekse felt angående Beowulf, et dansk legendepræget historie-epos, et mytisk epos, en historiefilosofi iklædt en kristen forsynstro og bragt i anvendelse pa Norden, en forestilling om kongens herredomme under ansvar over for Gud, om folket, det folkelige, om menneskeligt fællesskab som skueplads for kampen mellem sandhed og løgn. Det gælder endvidere Beda, der har forfattet den tidligste skrevne historie om det kristne Norden, en af kristen forsynstro præget historiefilosofi. Via Beda galder det desuden Kadmon, en historisk skikkelse, den tidligste kristne skjald i Norden, som har bevidnet, hvordan Helliganden inspirerer digterprofeten til at oplyse folket. Det galder desuden de Kadmon-påvirkede digte i Junius-manuskriptet, der ligeledes udtrykker en kristen forsynstro som baggrund for historieforstaelsen og forbinder den skrevne historie med kirkeårets liturgisk-historiske kredslob. Det galder Exeter-bogen, som i hovedsagen er religiøs digtning, der udførligt er knyttet sammen med kirkens liturgiske ar, en skriftsamling, som Grundtvig transskriberede i fuld udstrækning og studerede indgående. Alt imens Grundtvig gennemførte disse studier, stiftede han bekendtskab med, hvad vi kunne kalde den oldengelske kirkes insulære oldkirkelige tekster, kort sagt det oldkirkelige, den sarlige nordisk-kristne arv som vi moder i den tidlige kristne middelalder. De samme perspektiver blev han samtidig præsenteret for gennem det udvalg af tekster, som George Hickes og Humphrey Wanley som udgivere havde forelagt i deres tobindsværk, Thesaurus, hvilket Grundtvig benyttede i Det Kongelige Bibliotek som en væsentlig kildesamling. Der kunne han for eksempel finde religiøse og eksegetiske poetiske tekster, der star i umiddelbar sammenhang med tema, billedsprog og den retoriske udtryksform, som vi moder i De Levendes Land. Stort set hele læsningen af Thesaurus åbnede således for Grundtvig en rig skat af det oldkirkelige, såvel i prosa som i digtning, lange inden han opdagede Irenæus.Derfor bor enhver undersøgelse af Grundtvigs ambivalente, men ofte slående indfølende svar pa overleveringen forud for reformationen inddrage hans oldengelske mode med arven fra den tidlige middelalder og give det en betydningsfuld plads.

Grundtvigs prædiken i Vartov 1. maj 1844[Grundtvig’s sermon in Vartov, 1 May 1844]By Jette Holm and Elisabeth A. GlenthøjOn Wednesday 1 May 1844 Grundtvig, ill from an attack of mumps and attendant depression, preached his last sermon before setting out on a convalescence visit to clerical friends in Sjælland. The sermon, hitherto unprinted, is presented here to supplement Christian Thodberg’s study of the remarkable process by which Grundtvig’s Sov sodt, Barnlille was begotten out of the interaction of personal crisis, sermon, biblical text and liturgy. It also offers a sample of the sermons from Vartov currently being issued. The first three volumes (sermons 1839-42), plus a volume of commentary, were published in 2003 by Forlaget Vartov; and the next instalment with three annual sets of sermons (1843-45), plus commentary, are expected to be ready for printing in Spring 2006.

Breve til og fra Grundtvig, marts-juni 1844[Letters to and from Grundtvig, March-June 1844]By Jette HolmGr’s letters from the end of March through to June 1844 cover the period in which he was seriously ill with the after-effects of mumps and severe depression. They were published in Breve fra og til N. F. S. Grundtvig (BG II), Peter Rordam, 1, Blade a f hans Levnedsbog og Brevvexling fra 1806-1844 [Leaves from his biography and correspondence] (Rørdam 1891); and Gunni Busck, et Levnedslob i en Prastegaard [A lifetime in a vicarage] (Bech 1878). However, the Registrant (Catalogue of mss in the Grundtvig Archive, Copenhagen) lists further letters not yet in print. One single letter is found outside the Archive, in the Royal Library’s Ny kongelig Samling (NKS). In order to complete the picture of the course of Gr’s illness in 1844, the unprinted letters relating to the illness and Gr’s visits to clerical friends are presented here. Jørgen Ertner, in Et ord a f Guds Son [A saying of the Son of God] (Ertner 1997, 185 ff.) has produced a hitherto unknown letter from Gr to Ferdinand Fenger, dated 28 May 1844. The letter is there thoroughly discussed, but for the sake of completeness it is included in the present gathering of unprinted letters from that period. The letters presented here are also offered as documentation of Christian Thodberg’s article on Gr’s crisis of Spring 1844.

Grundtvig’s eschatology and its realistic significance: Reflections from the Chinese context

Grundtvig's eschatology and its realistic significance: Reflections from the Chinese context[Grundtvigs eskatologi og dens betydning for et realistisk livssyn: Reflektioner set i kinesisk perspektiv]Af Wen Ge[Wen Ge er medarbejder ved Nanjing Theological Seminary i Kina. For nogle år siden gennemførte han et studieophold i Danmark og studerede bl.a. Grundtvig under vejledning af Hans Raun Iversen ved Det Teologiske Fakultet, Københavns Universitet.]For Grundtvig var det en hovedsag, at eskatologien igen fik sin rette plads i den teologiske tænkning, efter at rationalistiske teologer i samtiden havde trængt den i baggrunden. Det drejer sig om den plads, hvorfra vi bliver i stand til at forstå hans syn på skaberværket i universalhistorisk perspektiv. Denne bestræbelse er ifølge den kinesiske teolog Wen Ge særdeles central for nutidig teologi, hvilket han søger at anskueliggøre ved at sætte Grundtvig i forhold til moderne teologer som Wolfart Pannenberg og Jorgen Moltmann, samtidig med at han diskuterer relevansen i relation til kinesisk forståelse af skabelse og genlæsning. Grundtvigs eskatologi var hverken individualistisk eller futuristisk. Den adskilte ikke mennesker fra andre levende væsener i verden, ligesom den ikke blev anskuet i blot hinsidig betydning, alene rettet mod Guds indgriben ved historiens ende, men var tavs om livet her og nu.Med dette udgangspunkt betegner Wen Ge Grundtvigs syn på gudsriget og eskatologien som “sækulariserende”. Grundtvig bekræfter fuldt ud den verden, som er vores, idet han forbinder den med Guds fortsatte handlen som skaber. Et af Grundtvigs væsentlige bidrag, også for teologien i dag, ligger netop i betoningen af denne mulighed for at opnå “venlig vekselvirkning” mellem kristendom og moderne, verdslig kultur. Grundtvigs positive syn på den skabte natur er grundlag for den inklusivt tolkede frelse, det vil sige det åbenbaringsord, der bringer bud fra himlen og samtidig omfatter denne jord. I kraft af enheden mellem skabelse og genlæsning kan alle i troens lys hvile i et håb om ved tidernes ende at være i fællesskab med den treenige Gud.

He developed a broad range of occupational education units, covering farming, seamanship and fishing, painting and arts, and, especially with the help of the carpenter and teacher Andreas Bentsen, Vallekilde Folk High School offered a variety of education within the field of crafts. Trier strove to maintain all the occupational education units among Vallekilde’s activities. Since, as he believed, each pupil was created in the image of God and therefore a unique human being, Trier wanted his school to “match” the individualities of the pupils. Grundtvig’s expression “Education and Proficiency for Life” (“Dannelse og Duelighed for Livet”) was by Trier interpreted as a folk high school including general as well as vocational education.

“Denne Gaade er godt gjort”: Grundtvig’s encounter with the riddles of the Exeter Book

Published: September 2020

“Denne Gaade er godt gjort” - Grundtvig’s encounter with the riddles of the Exeter Book[”Denne Gaade er godt gjort” - Grundtvigs behandling af gåderne i Exeterbogen]Af S. A. J. BradleyGrundtvigs beskæftigelse med angelsaksisk litterar kultur gik ind i en intensiv fase i tiden omkring hans Englandsrejser (1829-31), hvor han med offentliggørelse for øje transskriberede de digteriske dele af et håndskrift i Exeters klosterbibliotek fra det 11. århundrede. I betragtning af den grundliggende rolle, det symbolske og metaforiske spiller i Grundtvigs skrifter og i hans fremstilling af sin egen identitet, har det interesse at gennemgå og analysere hans forsøgsvise behandling af de omkring hundrede gader, der star i håndskriftet. Det ledte ham nemlig ind i en drøftelse af de intellektuelle strategier, der ligger bag såvel gåders udsagn som deres løsning, indbefattende litterære virkemidler som fortælling i 1. person og omskrivninger (kenninger), kryptisk brug af runer samt motiver fra folkesagn og folkelig overtro. Hans tilegnelse af denne kristelige kultur fra tidlig nordeuropæisk middelalder far utvivlsomt stor betydning for hans mytologiske arbejder, men rækker også videre frem. Den intellektuelle beskæftigelse med det gadefulde slår for Grundtvig bro mellem det verdslige og det religiøse, som det også skete for de angelsaksiske munke i Exeter.

Grundtvig: A Critical Link, her genoptrykt fra 1989 med henblik på at give emnet fornyet opmærksomhed i en snævrere kontekst af dansk og international Grundtvig-forskning), præsenterer Clay Warren en oversigt over de amerikanske publikationer på det andragogiske område (voksenuddannelse og livslang læring) siden 1989. Forfatteren påviser, at den mellemliggende amerikanske historieforskning ikke i særlig nævneværdig grad har anerkendt hverken den danske højskolebevægelses eller Grundtvigs egen historiske betydning for voksenuddannelse og livslang læring. Situationen er således mere eller mindre den samme i dag som i 1989. Kun Grundtvig som historisk person har opnået en vis omtale, men den synes dog at være baseret på mundtlige traditioner snarere end på akademiske studier af kildemateriale, og er tillige gentaget fra forfatter til forfatter uden kritisk revurdering eller efterprøvelse. Situationen er delvist forårsaget af mangelen på videnskabelige engelsksprogede udgaver og oversættelser af kildematerialerne. Der er dog enkelte opmuntrende tegn på, at der i de seneste år er sat projekter i gang for at kompensere for denne mangel.

Åndens hermeneutik. En læsning af I al sin Glands nu straaler Solen
Authors: Hansen Jakob Ulrik
Published: September 2020

Åndens hermeneutik. En læsning af “I al sin Glands nu straaler Solen ”[The hermeneutics of the Spirit. A reading of “I al sin Glands nu straaler Solen ”]By Jakob Ulrik HansenThis article takes as its point of departure the question of how Grundtvig in his hymns seems to amalgamate the seasons, the biblical world, legendary material and historical events without reflecting on time. Through a reading of “I al sin Glands nu straaler Solen” (In all its Splendour now the Sun shines), the article discusses what enables this particular form of poetic hermeneutics.The blending of early-summer sun with divine light “Glands” (splendor or doxa) in the beginning of the hymn generates a vision of the world in two levels, which becomes constitutive of the entire hymn. In the following stanza, summer becomes an image of the recovered connection with Paradise through the Pentecostal spirit, e.g. in the breeze through the leaves and the rippling water in the creek. This divine affiliation of the natural phenomena is indicated by various allusions to their provenance in Paradise. The centre of the hymn, stanza 4, relates how the spirit descends and speaks in the world. The spirit, however, does not speak by itself, but as part of the Trinity. Stanza 5 narrates the awakening of the congregation and its assembly for worship, and in stanza 6 all languages merge into a united “Hallelujah”, a word generally reserved for angels. The hymn ends with the description of the glory of God's kingdom.The article concludes that Grundtvig’s amalgamation of events, times and opposites in this hymn presupposes a particular conceptualisation of the spirit, and it leaves as an open question that awaits further study whether this conceptualisation of the spirit and hermeneutics is a central feature in many of Grundtvig’s other hymns.

An English Translation of “Forunderligt at sige”
Authors: Rytting Jenny Rebecca
Published: September 2020

An English translation of ‘Forunderligt at sige ”[En engelsk oversættelse af ‘Forunderligt at sige ”]Af Jenny Rebecca RyttingTeksten er en engelsk oversættelse af “Forunderligt at sige,” en julesalme af N. F. S. Grundtvig, der bearbejdede den fra H. A. Brorsons salme “Mit hierte altid vanker” på i alt 11 strofer fra hans hovedværk Troens rare Klenodie, nr. 7, 1739 (= salmehefte 1, 1732). Denne oversættelse respekterer den danske salmes rim og versmål, så salmen kan synges til Carl Nielsens melodi som blev komponeret i 1914, men først udgivet i 1919.

The International Dissemination of Grundtvig’s Educational Ideas. II: A World Map of Folk High Schools
Authors: Bugge K. E.
Published: September 2020

The International Dissemination of Grundtvig’s Educational IdeasII: A World Map of Folk High Schools[Den internationale udbredelse af Grundtvigs uddannelsestanker:II: Folkehøjskolernes Verdenskort]Af K. E. BuggeUdbredelsen af Grundtvigs skoletanker til lande uden for Skandinavien var i 1980’erne og 1990’erne genstand for betydelig interesse. På den baggrund besluttedes i årene omkring årtusindskiftet at registrere så mange som muligt af de foreliggende undersøgelser. I 2003 offentliggjordes en rapport, der omfattede (1) en skematiseret oversigt, som på engelsk betegnes som Report 1, (2) en verbaliseret dansksproget redegørelse, på engelsk Report 2; under titlen Folkehøjskolernes Verdenskort blev denne udgivet af Grundtvig-museet i Udby, og (3) et vægkort, der illustrerer den globale fordeling af de dengang registrerede 695 institutioner.Da interessen for emnet fornyedes i 2011-2012, var tiden inde til at offentliggøre den verbaliserede rapport (Report 2) på engelsk i Grundtvig-Studier. Her redegøres for tilblivelsen, herunder for de anvendte udvælgelseskriterier. Endvidere omtales en række af de problemer, man mødte undervejs, samt de uventede gennembrud, man også oplevede. Supplerende er tilføjet to ekskurser, der belyser udviklingen henholdsvis i Indien og i Australien.
Verdenskrøniken 1812 læst igen -
Authors: Lundgreen-Nielsen Flemming
Published: September 2020

Verdenskrøniken 1812 som verdenslitteraturhistorie[The World Chronicle 1812 as a history of world literature]By Flemming Lundgreen-NielsenHidden in Grundtvig’s World Chronicle, 1812, is a history of world literature, infact the first published attempt of its kind written in Danish by a single scholar.This easily escapes attention as Grundtvig’s numerous paragraphs on poetry andliterary history are not marked typographically. This paper examines and discusses his most important statements chronologically. Even if Grundtvig’s brief portrayals of poets often describe a short bloom followed by rapid decay and an inevitablefall, he ends in foreseeing a renewal of Nordic literature led by Steffens, Oehlenschläger and himself. Thus Grundtvig, as early as 1812, introduces the Danish romantic breakthrough (1802 onwards) as a poetological paradigm which otherwise is first acknowledged by literary historians writing in the 1870s, ‘80s and ‘90s. Grundtvig’s survey of world literature has been overshadowed by more conspicuous and provocative qualities of his text but deserves a sober-minded consideration.
- En historisk Theodice
Authors: Vind Ole
Published: September 2020

En historisk Theodice[A Historical Theodicy]By Ole VindGrundtvig’s first World Chronicle from 1812 (VK 1812) is noted especially for itssharp criticism of contemporary culture. It can be read as a Lutheran revivalistsermon passing judgment on great historical as well as contemporary figures who are condemned for their lack of orthodox Christian faith. Read in the light of Grundtvig’s later works, however, the book carries the seeds of that philosophy of history which from 1832 onwards became the mainstay of all his writings.Thus, in VK 1812 are found the first traces of that original vision which inChristenhedens Syvstjerne (The Seven Sisters of Christendom, Grundtvig’s greatcycle of church historical poems written 1854-55, published 1860) follows churchhistory through seven national Churches of which the future Hindu (Christian)Church is the last. Likewise, in the chronicle are found Grundtvig’s first speculations on ethnic origins, later clarified into his idea of four principal peoples in World History (i.e. the Jews, the Greeks and the Romans in antiquity and the Scandinavians in modern times).In spite of his harsh condemnation of his contemporaries, Grundtvig concludesVK 1812 optimistically, prophesying a spiritual and Christian renewalin Scandinavia through the future university in Kristiania (i.e. Oslo) in Norway(founded 1811 and opened 1813). Such a trust in learning and scholarship wascharacteristic of the European age of Enlightenment with its belief in progress. In later major works, Grundtvig expressed this attitude in an original Nordic version which also formed the basis of his thoughts about education and folk high schools.In VK 1812 Grundtvig briefly characterizes the German thinkers who werethe foundation of his philosophy of history. Even if they are all blamed fortheir lack of orthodox faith, his delineation of them is remarkably mild. Later,rather surprisingly, Grundtvig appeared to reconcile himself to a great extentwith the German “naturalists imbued with spirit”.The quite positive words about those German philosophers whom he otherwiserather criticized, presage the deep inspiration in Grundtvig’s mature worksparticularly from Herder and Fichte. An exceptional role is played to Grundtvigby Lessing who raised the principal question of Protestant religious philosophyabout the relationship between Christianity and history. Already in VK 1812,Grundtvig’s philosophy of history is also a philosophy of religion in the shapeof a historical theodicy. As in his works to come, Grundtvig’s answer to Lessing’s question is thus quite the opposite of Søren Kierkegaard’s to whom Lessing, too, meant a serious philosophical challenge.
- Luthertolkningen i 1812-krøniken
Authors: Holm Anders
Published: September 2020

Luthertolkningen i 1812-krøniken[The Interpretation of Luther in Grundtvig’s World Chronicle of 1812]By Anders HolmGrundtvig grew up in two Lutheran vicarages. Both homes were characterized by Lutheran orthodoxy but could not ignore the critical thoughts of the Enlightenment. During his studies at the University of Copenhagen Grundtvig was convinced of the truth of the new philosophy of reason. His father’s wish in 1810, however, that he become his curate demanded that he reconsidered the world-view which he thought to have left behind. It all ended in a crisis and a nervous breakdown, which resulted in his return to a faith strongly inspired by Luther.Grundtvig’s book Brief View of the World Chronicle in Context, 1812, aimed to find God in the course of events of world history. His method was to describe and evaluate the past and the present with the Bible as the standard, and he chose to concentrate on Luther and Melanchthon as the principal characters of the Reformation. Luther dismissed everything that was not based upon clear words from scripture as lies and delusions; Melanchthon was a skilful interpreter of Luther’s radical statements, expressing himself distinctly and unequivocally. After the deathof Luther, however, Melanchthon was influenced by Reformed theology. The principal difference between Reformed and Lutheran cultures, Grundtvig claimed, sprung from the fact that Zwingli had emphasized reason whereas Luther wasmore poetically inclined. Accordingly, two cultures with diverging directions developed. The belief in reason and inborn abilities had led the followers of the Reformed Church to social uprising, and their mentality made them oppose people of other opinions. Lutheran believers and supporters on the other hand, Grundtvig conceived of as more obedient to authority. In contrast to the Reformed culture, the Lutherans appreciated elements of beauty in their churches such as art, music and hymn singing.Finally, the assessment of the young Grundtvig as a Lutheran orthodox is discussed, with the result that this view cannot be confirmed. Grundtvig does not show any tendency towards building coherent dogmatics from single biblicalpassages. But the Bible still has a role to play in the judging of the past because, as a whole, it points to the true Christianity in history.

Grundtvig and the Theatre. By Steen Johansen. Some new knowledge which has come to light about Grundtvig as an amateur actor in his student days (1800—1803) has provided the occasion for this article. It begins with a summary of what we already know about this subject as a result of information previously published in “Grundtvig-Studier”. It then gives the newly-discovered information, which consists of a hitherto unnoticed entry in Grundtvig’s diary for 1803, affording confirmation of the fact that on September 25th, 1803, he took part in the performance of Olufsen’s play “Gulddaasen” . Strangely enough, the former editor of Grundtvig’s diaries, H. Begtrup, had not noticed this item of information.
Corpus-based Analysis of Verbal and Nominal Reduplication in Colloquial Singapore English
Authors: Ziomek Paweł
Published: September 2020

Reduplication has always been an important subject of morphology and language typology. Cross-linguistic studies have identified 45 functions of reduplication in 108 languages. Total reduplication is recognised as productive and systematic in Colloquial Singapore English (CSE), possibly due to language contact. The paper aims to present the cases of verbal and nominal reduplication in CSE described in the linguistic literature, and juxtapose them with the examples from the Singapore component of the International Corpus of English (ICE-SIN), which seem to be indicative of discrepancies in form and functions.
