Tidehverv

[1] Originally it was a Grundtvigian movement reacting against liberal theology and its ethical-idealist stance; in the late 20th century it shifted in a national conservative, anti-modernist direction with two of its leading members, Søren Krarup and Jesper Langballe, representing the Danish People's Party in Parliament.

Its theological approach has been characterized as a combination of Luther's doctrine of the two kingdoms, Søren Kierkegaard's existentialism and Grundtvig's emphasis on the Danish nation.

The theology was centered on a radical interpretation of the relation between sin and grace, combined with the Kierkegaardian concept of living in the decision in the moment.

Since the movement adheres to the Two Kingdoms doctrine, seeing Church and State as non-overlapping magisteria, its role in politics has been understood by its members, not as participatory democratic policy making, but rather as a freedom struggle against an oppressive and anti-religious cultural radical hegemony.

[1] The movement publishes the journal Tidehverv, as well as theological and political treatises, books and pamphlets – many of them critical of Islam and cultural radicalism.
