Haugean literature

Haugean literature refers to writings that stem from the beliefs of Hans Nielsen Hauge, a 19th-century Norwegian reformer. He emphasized personal faith, spirituality, and a direct relationship with God, often outside traditional church structures. Hauge’s ideas inspired various literary works that explore themes of religious awakening, social reform, and the integration of faith into daily life. This literature often reflects a quest for meaning and the pursuit of a more personal and active Christian faith, influencing both religious thought and Norwegian culture during and beyond his time.
