Revisiting the History of Religious Resistance to Vaccination in the Netherlands
This article provides a new framework for the history of religious objections to vaccination in the Netherlands. In public opinion and scholarly literature, these are often associated with the contemporary group of conservative Reformed people or inhabitants of the Dutch Bible Belt and projected back onto the past in a static way. In early modern times, however, reluctance to perform any preventive medical act on the human body was embedded in a …
Youth Work for Baby Boomers
This article deals with the first decades of the Reformed Youth Council of the Netherlands Reformed Church. It was founded in 1941 to challenge young people in local congregations to join the public task of the national Protestant church. Because religious youth work had been left to particular organisations for many years previously, tensions between them and the new umbrella movement had to wait until after World War II to be resolved. Meanwhil…
Puritanism in Transatlantic Perspective
David D. Hall’s book comprises a transatlantic history of the Puritan movement from its sixteenth-century emergence to its heyday under Oliver Cromwell and its subsequent political demise after 1660. Hall provides insights into the movement’s trajectory, including the various forms of Puritan belief and practice in England and Scotland and their transatlantic migration. In Hall’s sweeping view, Puritanism was a driving force for cultural change i…
Buildings and Bibles Between Profanization and Sacralization
Based on an ethnographic case study of three recently erected church buildings in the Dutch Bible Belt, this article demonstrates how orthodox Reformed congregations in the Netherlands define church buildings-especially the auditoria-and bibles as simultaneously profane and mediating the sacred. These at first glance ambivalent discourses are informed by a particular semiotic ideology, which maintains that material spaces and objects like these a…
In saecula saeculorum
This article offers a personal perspective on religious history after the institutionalisation of this field in the History Department at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam in 2015. In essence and method, religious history is like history of religion(s). In German and Dutch, one can speak of Religionsgeschichte or religiegeschiedenis / godsdienstgeschiedenis . Different terms are in use in English and French, reflecting the different traditions in the …
L'espérance de vie des professions médicales aux Pays-Bas du xvi e au xx e siècle
L'augmentation de l'espérance de vie est considérée comme l'un des facteurs déterminants du début de la croissance économique moderne. S'appuyant sur des informations concernant les élites, les historiens de l'économie ont remis en question l'idée, très courante chez les démographes, que l'espérance de vie serait restée plutôt stable jusqu'aux environs de 1800. Les informations sur l'évolution à long terme de l'espérance de vie qui pourraient cor…
“Away with all my pleasant things in the world…”
One of the most successful religious children’s books ever written is James Janeway’s A Token for Children (1671/1672). This book offers 13 examples of “well‐dying” children, including the death‐beds of two Dutch children. Details concerning the background of those children are lacking in the English‐language historiography of children’s literature. Janeway borrowed their stories from a broadsheet, published in English in 1666, describing the “la…
Interpreting the Dutch Great Awakening (1749-1755)
In 1754, the Scottish minister John Gillies (1712-1796) published a collection of historical accounts concerning "remarkable periods of the success of the Gospel." Its composer was a spider in a web of correspondents in Europe and North America who believed they were living in an extraordinary time of revival in Christianity. Collective conversions and signs of repentance and faith were reported from all parts of the world and placed in a large e…

Hungary and the Batavian Myth
The Batavian myth was the idea that the Dutch people descended from the Batavians, a German tribe which settled in the Low Countries during the first century BC. Their revolt against the Roman rulers in AD 67, recorded in Tacitus' Historiae, remained an inspiration in Dutch historiography and politics up to the nineteenth century. This article focuses on two elements of the Batavian story in connection with Hungarian history. Firstly, the Batavia…

Both compositions are Dutch translations of originally German texts that hav…
Ghosts, Animals, or Angels. Christian Story-Telling in a Modern World
Diane, a young Christian university student, was home for the summer. One evening she returned late from a visit to her friends. She walked quite alone through an alley and asked God to keep her from harm and danger. Halfway down the alley she noticed a man, looking like he was waiting for her. She prayed for protection and instantly a comfortable feeling of quietness and security surrounded her, as if someone was walking with her. She walked rig…
