Gunnar Haaland serves as Professor of Theology, Religion and Philosophy at NLA University College in Oslo, Norway, based at the Staffeldtsgate campus. His academic profile spans biblical scholarship, theological inquiry, and religious education, with particular emphasis on Jewish-Christian relations and contemporary applications of scriptural texts. Haaland's research centers on Biblical Studies (Old and New Testaments), Systematic and Practical Theology, and Religious Education. He pioneers innovative pedagogical approaches through the analysis of challenging picturebooks for teaching complex religious concepts, especially regarding Judaism. His work critically examines New Testament reception in Nordic contexts and historical church practices, consistently addressing interfaith dynamics and curriculum development in religious education. Analysis of his 2019-2023 publications reveals two dominant research trajectories: first, the strategic use of picturebooks to explore sensitive religious themes in educational settings; second, Nordic reinterpretations of biblical texts with specific focus on Jewish-Christian relations. His scholarship demonstrates how visual narratives can facilitate nuanced understanding of Judaism within Christian frameworks while challenging historical misrepresentations in lectionary resources and pulpit rhetoric. Professor Haaland maintains active scholarly contributions through his publications and teaching responsibilities at NLA University College.
