These essays emerged from papers presented under the auspices of
the American Academy of Religion. The contributors explored cases
that highlight the development of "historical consciousness" in
diverse Christian traditions from the early sixteenth century to
the early twentieth century. Topics considered range from Erasmus
of Rotterdam and Richard Simon to nineteenth-century Anglicanism,
Catholicism, and European and American Protestantism. Like a
mosaic-with many disparate parts-definite patterns begin to emerge.
First, the contributors demonstrate that historical consciousness
grew out of Christian scholarship, not eighteenth-century
enlightenment thought. Second, they highlight how historical
scholarship implicitly asserted the scholar's authority to critique
cherished assumptions about Christian truth. Finally, the essays
explore how ecclesiastical authorities reacted to these critiques
as challenges to their spiritual authority. This volume contributes
to scholarship that explores Christianity's role in modernity, the
ongoing implications of historical controversies, and the
importance of history in Christian theology.
