The Quest for Early Church Historiography
From Ferdinand C. Baur to Bart D. Ehrman and Beyond
Jeremiah Mutie
Über dieses Buch
The Quest for Early Church Historiography explores how early church historiography underwent a significant shift beginning with the thought of Ferdinand Christian Baur (1792-1860), a shift that eventually culminated in the current extreme historiographies of such scholars as Bart D. Ehrman (1955-). Through the tracing of this historiographical trajectory, this work argues that, rather than seeing these current historiographies as having suddenly appeared in the scholarly scene, a better approach is to see them as the fruit of this long trajectory. Of course, as the work has sought to demonstrate, this trajectory is itself full of turns and twists. But the careful reader will, hopefully, be able to see the intrinsic connections that are demonstrably evident.
