Until now insular and continental material, mostly metal-work, found in pagan Viking Age graves in Norway, has been interpreted as looted material from churches and monasteries on the British Isles and the Continent. The raiding Vikings brought these objects back to their homeland where they were often broken up and used as jewellery or got alternative functions.0'Looting or Missioning' looks at the use and functions of these sacred objects in their original Christian contexts. Based on such an analysis the author proposes an alternative interpretation of these objects: they were brought by Christian missionaries from different parts of the British Isles and the Continent to Norway. The objects were either personal (crosses, croziers, portable reliquaries etc.), objects used for baptism (hanging bowls), equipment to officiate a mass (mountings from books or reading equipment, altars or crosses) or to give the communion (pitchers, glass vessels, chalices, paten). We know from contemporary sources (Ansgar in Birka, Sweden in the ninth century) that missionaries brought this sort of equipment on their mission journeys. We also hear that missionaries were robbed, killed or chased off. Mikkelson interprets the sacred objects found in Viking Age pagan graves as objects that originate from the many unsuccessful mission attempts in Norway throughout the Viking Age.

Für religiöse Bildung und Praxis sind Alltagsobjekte und Gebrauchsgegenstände aus profanen und religiösen Zusammenhängen sowie Artefakte, Bilder, Skulpturen, Installationen und Kirchenräume zentral. Die Deutung und Nutzung von Objekten der materiellen Kultur sowie die Identifikation von religiösen Objekten erweist sich jedoch als äußerst komplex. Die Beiträger*innen liefern interdisziplinäre Forschungsperspektiven aus Theologie, Religionswissenschaft und Soziologie und reflektieren die wichtigsten thematischen und methodischen Bezugspunkte der Materialitätsforschung im Kontext religiöser Bildung und Praxis.

The Holy Grail, the Lance of Longinus, and the True Cross are some of the most revered artifacts in the world today. These Christian relics are also a source of limitless controversy. They have incited bloodshed and, some say, are a source of miracles. They inspire fear and hope among the faithful, and yet are a perennial target for skeptics, both Christian and secular. To research the authenticity of numerous Christian relics, Joe Nickell employs a scientific approach, using such techniques as radiocarbon dating, polarized-light microscopy, and forensic serology. Examined here are such sig
