| Summary: | Nothing quite like this has been done before. Elizabeth Clark, herself a distinguished scholar of the early church, has undertaken to examine and present the scholarship of six key pioneers of church history in nineteenth-century America. Some of the results are surprising, others less so. Even more significant, in all probability, are the implicit but perennial questions this study raises about the whole scholarly enterprise and its outcomes., The American context is fundamental to the story, and Part I examines the institutions, the professors, and the infrastructure. |
