abstract = "The preface of Gabriel et al. (Religion und Wohlfahrtsstaatlichkeit in Europa. Mohr Siebeck, T{\"u}bingen, 2013) states that the normative {\textquoteleft}in depth grammar{\textquoteright} of the modern welfare state is significantly, but diffusely influenced by religiously procured values and initiatives. This chapter analyses relations between the social attitudes, Christianity and the welfare state in a Danish context. The social attitudes of Luther and contemporary Christianity are presented, and the moral and religious background underlying the Danish welfare state is discussed.",
