About This Book
Die seit 1925 erscheinenden Arbeiten zur Kirchengeschichte bilden eine der traditionsreichsten historischen Buchreihen im deutschsprachigen Raum. Sie enthalten Forschungen zur Kirchen- und Dogmengeschichte des Christentums aller Epochen, veröffentlichen aber auch Arbeiten aus verwandten Disziplinen wie beispielsweise der ArchĂ€ologie, Kunstgeschichte oder Literaturwissenschaft. Kennzeichnend fĂŒr die Reihe ist der durchgĂ€ngige Anspruch, historisch-methodische PrĂ€zision mit systematischen Kontextualisierungen des jeweiligen Gegenstandes zu verbinden. In jĂŒngerer Zeit erscheinen verstĂ€rkt Arbeiten zu Themen einer Kultur- und Ideengeschichte des Christentums in einem methodisch offenen christentumsgeschichtlichen Horizont.
