요약At the end of the twentieth century, a series of longitudinal sociological surveys declared Sweden one of the most secular countries in the world. Despite this irreligious reputation, many of Sweden's most celebrated authors, from Bellman to Lagerkvist, revised and reenacted biblical myths in their novels, poetry, and plays, often to critical and popular acclaim. This peculiar contradiction of a thoroughly secular society, interested in reading biblical adaptations, raises questions about the Bible's complex role in Swedish cultural life, especially given the nation's well-documented ambivalence toward religious practice. This study analyzes Swedish biblical adaptations across four centuries, paying closest attention to the late-nineteenth and twentieth centuries, and concludes that Swedish intellectual elites have long desacralized scripture and used it for secular purposes in their works. These writers frequently challenged the Bible's divine claims while retaining its status as a work of cultural significance. This finding supports the view that Lutheranism in Sweden functions as a "cultural religion"-a source of national identity and cultural memory rather than supernatural belief. Examining adaptations from Sweden's age of empire to the turn of the twentieth-first century, this study traces the origins and development of this refrain of "biblical modernism," which maturated in twentieth-century Swedish literature. These works secularized familiar biblical myths, expatiated marginal biblical figures' biographies, and posed existential questions that challenged religion's claims to absolute truth, while exploring the ideological diversity of the modern age. This study argues that Sweden's secularized "biblical modernism," in literature, visual art, and film, served as a platform for renegotiating national identity in the wake of Sweden's social democratization, theological liberalization, and industrialization. Comparative analysis of twentieth-century Finnish biblical adaptations suggests this secular biblical refrain may be more pronounced in Sweden than in neighboring Nordic countries. The study concludes with suggestions for further comparative research on biblical adaptation in Nordic and European literary traditions.
