Wohin läuft die Kirchengeschichte?

Based on current needs for orientation and challenges to church history as a sub-discipline of theology, Christian Volkmar Witt examines the orientational value of the scholarly dialogue with the past. He brings together medieval theories of time, approaches from institutional theory, as well as questions of historical theory and philosophy of history to propose how the distinctive character, concerns, and potential of theologically responsible church history can be described in an interdisciplinary way.
