Why study the past? : the quest for the historical church / Rowan Williams. - 1 online resource
Title Page; Copyright; Contents; Introduction; 1 MAKING HISTORY: What Do We Expect from the Past?; 2 RESIDENT ALIENS: The Identity of the Early Church; 3 GRACE ALONE: Continuity and Novelty in the Reformation Era; 4 HISTORY AND RENEWAL: The Records of the Body of Christ; Notes; Index
Annotation The old saying about being condemned to repeat the history we don't know applies to Church history as much as to anything else. But we are often at a loss to know how to approach it. Much of what passed once for Church history was propagandist; and much of the best now written is brilliantly done but apparently detached from the Church's present needs. Rowan Williams offers some reflection on how we think about the past in general.
