| 总结: | The relationship between the practice of contemporary church historians and the methods adopted for forming judgments by systematic theologians can be analysed from three different perspectives: a) what methodologies do church historians adopt when they advance theological judgments? b) what relevance does contemporary church historians' research have for systematic theology? c) what is the relationship between the understandig of history in general and the nature of theological enquiry? With regard to the second question (b), we can safely say that the contemporary church historians' research has the definitive advantage of preventing historical theology from becoming merely an exercise in theory. It forces the systematic theologian to consider the actual historical context in which his reflections are taking place. It also forces him to recognize how far his ideas are the product of contemporary conditions, and may well therefore lead him to readjust his ethical conclusions. In this way, the study of contemporary church history can be beneficial in restraining the tendencies towards losing touch with reality, or indulging in purely ideological thinking, which are sometimes found among systematic theologians. |
