This collection of essays is taken from the pages of The Catholic
Historical Review, the official organ of the American Catholic
Historical Association and the only scholarly journal under
Catholic auspices in the English-speaking world devoted to the
history of the Universal Church. Journeys in Church History offers
reflections from six leading contemporary church historians, who
describe in their own words how they have come to practice their
craft. They trace their family and educational backgrounds, the
themes that attracted their attention, the challenges they
encountered in researching them, the new methodologies they adopted
to answer questions, and the reception given to their findings.
They also tell of their experiences in the classroom, both as
students and teachers, the difficulties they encountered in their
careers due to prejudices based on gender or religion, and how the
discipline of church history has changed over their lifetimes.
Their often entertaining accounts will serve to inform and inspire
fellow historians, both young and old. The contributors to this
volume are: Elizabeth Clark, who pioneered studies of the role of
women in the early Church. Caroline Bynum showed how Christians
viewed gender and the human body. Jean Delumeau studies the
religious attitudes (mentalite) of the ordinaryfaithful and how
these were shaped during the medieval and early modern periods.
John W. O'Mally documents that Renaissance humanism was not pagan
but profoundly Christian. The promotion of institutions of higher
education under the auspices of the Catholic Church in America has
been studied by J. Philip Gleason. Margaret Lavinia Anderson was
among the first to use computers to analyze voting patterns in
modern Germany and thus determine the influence of the Center
Party.
