Kirchengeschichte: Historisches Spezialgebiet Und/Oder Theologische Disziplin

This volume in honour of the historian and theologian Wolfram Kinzig deals with Church History. Deliberations on this subject concern the complex relationship between theology and history, namely the connection between revelation and history, the difference between ecclesiastical and secular historiographies, and the question of the relevance of Church History to theology. Furthermore, considerations of Church History include discussions on contemporary challenges and opportunities for the subject within the academe. The authors of this volume have each considered the aspect of Church History most relevant to their own research and/or discipline and thus further both, research at the interface of history and theology, and debate on the peculiarity of Church History.
