Skånberg has a conservative Christian Democratic political profile. Among his more than 500 bills to the Swedish Riksdag, some have been considered controversial, as Riksdag bills against gay marriage[2] and homosexual adoption,[3] for the banning of blasphemy[4] and for "nondiscrimination" of creationism in Swedish schools and in admission to graduate school.[5]

Skånberg has been a visiting fellow at Cambridge University (2001), a visiting scholar at Jesus College, Cambridge (2001), a distinguished professor in history at Graduate Theological Union (2006), a visiting scholar at Stanford University (2006), an adjunct associate professor of church history at Fuller Theological Seminary (2006/2007, 2010), a guest professor in patristic at Saint Petersburg Evangelical Academy (2007), and director of the Clapham Institute (2008).
