“…One can also study the specificity and meaning of selected variables in their cultural and historical context, but these are qualitative studies. The present study is an example of quantitative analysis (Baker, 2006;Chung & Pennebaker, 2007;Dalianis, 2018;Grimmer & Stewart, 2013;Mehl, 2006;Zurloni et al, 2006) and above all represents historical discourse analysis, which is quite commonly used in psychological research on discourse (Brinton, 2015;Landwehr, 2009;Laudoa & Vilanoub, 2015;Reisigl & Wodak, 2009). Psychological research on religious discourse is currently gaining more and more attention (Abdou, 2015;Baker & Vessey, 2018;Friedmann, 2008;Ingram, 2017;Stuckrad, 2015); this also applies to research on biblical texts (Ellens & Rollins, 2004;Kille, 2005;Theissen, 2007).…”
