Doelstelling: Deze masterproef heeft als doel de gelijkenissen en verschillen aan te tonen tussen het taalgebruik van de fundamentalistische Christenen in de Bible Belt van de Verenigde Staten en de Nederlandse Bijbelgordel. Middelen of methode: Er werd een corpus samengesteld van zestien toespraken: acht van twee vooraanstaande Amerikaanse fundamentalistische Christenen (Pat Robertson en Jerry Falwell) en acht van Nederlandse tegenhangers (SGP-politici en Ds. W. Pieters). De Amerikaanse en de Nederlandse teksten werden met elkaar vergeleken op basis van een aantal taalkundige aspecten: enerzijds het gebruik van de religieuze termen God, Jezus en Bijbel, hun synoniemen en afgeleide woorden, en anderzijds de religieuze werkwoorden, zoals geloven, bidden, zondigen... Daarnaast werd het gebruik nagegaan en vergeleken van de volgende tien stijlfiguren: antithesen, archaïsch taalgebruik, opsommingen, uitroepen, metaforen, parallelismen, vragen (open, retorische en vragen waar de spreker zelf het antwoord op geeft), citaten, herhalingen en superlatieven. Resultaten: Er werden opmerkelijke verschillen en gelijkenissen gevonden tussen het taalgebruik van de vijf sprekers. Vooreerst de vergelijking tussen de Amerikaanse boegbeelden van het fundamentalistische Christendom (Jerry Falwell, Pat Robertson) en de Nederlandse (W. Pieters en de SGP-politici Bas van der Vlies en Kees van der Staaij). De teksten van de Nederlandse sprekers zijn minder exuberant en soberder dan die van de Amerikaanse. Stijlmiddelen zoals antithese, opsomming, parallellisme en herhaling komen veel vaker voor bij Falwell en Robertson. Wat betreft de vergelijking tussen het taalgebruik van de predikanten (Jerry Falwell, W. Pieters) en dat van de politici (Pat Robertson, de beide SGP-politici), valt het op dat de predikanten veel meer verwijzen naar God, de Zoon van God en de Bijbel, dan de politici. Pat Robertson verwijst frequent naar God en af en toe naar de Bijbel. Bij de SGP-politici wordt sporadisch naar de God en de Bijbel verwezen. Als we de predikanten met elkaar vergelijken, stellen we vast dat Jerry Falwell zijn toespraken kruidt met archaïsche Bijbelcitaten. W. Pieters doet dat eveneens, maar zijn eigen woordenschat is ook archaïsch. Falwell gebruikt opsommingen en parallellismen om zijn toespraken te structureren. De teksten van W. Pieters lijken eerder ongestructureerd. Wat betreft de onderlinge vergelijking tussen de politici, zien we dat Pat Robertson zijn toehoorders alert houdt door veelvuldig herhalingen in te lassen, door zowel religieuze als non-religieuze bronnen te citeren en door vragen te stellen, die hij zijn publiek als het ware in de mond zou willen leggen en waarop hij zelf meteen een antwoord formuleert. Het discours van de SGP is veel zakelijker.

The research studies included in this Special Issue highlight the fundamental contribution of the knowledge of environmental history to conscious and efficient environment conservation and management. The long-term perspective of the dynamics that govern the human–climate ecosystem is becoming one of the main focuses of interest in biological and earth system sciences. Multidisciplinary bio-geo-archaeo investigations into the underlying processes of human impact on the landscape are crucial to envisage possible future scenarios of biosphere responses to global warming and biodiversity losses. This Special Issue seeks to engage an interdisciplinary dialog on the dynamic interactions between nature and society, focusing on long-term environmental data as an essential tool for better-informed landscape management decisions to achieve an equilibrium between conservation and sustainable resource exploitation.

"The shocking untold story of how the FBI partnered with white evangelicals to champion a vision of America as a white Christian nationOn a Sunday morning in 1966, a group of white evangelicals dedicated a stained glass window to J. Edgar Hoover. The FBI director was not an evangelical, but his Christian admirers anointed him as their political champion, believing he would lead America back to God. The Gospel of J. Edgar Hoover reveals how Hoover and his FBI teamed up with leading white evangelicals and Catholics to bring about a white Christian America by any means necessary.Lerone Martin draws on thousands of newly declassified FBI documents and memos to describe how, under Hoover's leadership, FBI agents attended spiritual retreats and worship services, creating an FBI religious culture that fashioned G-men into soldiers and ministers of Christian America. Martin shows how prominent figures such as Billy Graham, Fulton Sheen, and countless other ministers from across the country partnered with the FBI and laundered bureau intel in their sermons while the faithful crowned Hoover the adjudicator of true evangelical faith and allegiance. These partnerships not only solidified the political norms of modern white evangelicalism, they also contributed to the political rise of white Christian nationalism, establishing religion and race as the bedrock of the modern national security state, and setting the terms for today's domestic terrorism debates.Taking readers from the pulpits and pews of small-town America to the Oval Office, and from the grassroots to denominational boardrooms, The Gospel of J. Edgar Hoover completely transforms how we understand the FBI, white evangelicalism, and our nation's entangled history of religion and politics"-- "This book examines one powerful but largely neglected ally of this rising white conservative coalition: J. Edgar Hoover and the FBI he led for almost a half-century. Revered by the evangelical faithful, Hoover was a powerful ally of and partner to the mainstream evangelical movement, working alongside Billy Graham, the mass circulation magazine Christianity Today, the National Association of Evangelicals, and other evangelical institutions and leaders to advance a Christian nationalist vision of America. In some ways it was an odd partnership. Hoover, for one thing, was not himself a "born-again" evangelical. And he maintained a domestic partnership with a male senior FBI agent that did not cohere with Christian conservative family values. Yet white Christian conservatives readily looked to Hoover and his FBI for their civic and political salvation. The Gospel of J. Edgar Hoover explains why white evangelicals from the pulpit to the pew honored Hoover as their anointed Christian champion. Part one of the book illustrates how Hoover made white Christian nationalism the bedrock of the modern national security state by shaping the FBI in his own image as soldiers advancing toward a white, Christian America. The second part explains how Hoover materially supported the white Christian nationalist project of fusing conservative Christianity with American civic life. Along the way, Martin considers broader questions about the relationship between religion and national security in American history, and what Hoover's bureau might reveal about the nature of white evangelicalism"--
