Description
Essential to Catholic, Protestant, and even secular scholars of American religious history this is the first historiographical analysis of the work of Henry K. Rowe, James H. Nichols, Leonard J. Trinterud, H. Shelton Smith, John T. McNeill, Herbert W. Schneider, RobertT. Handy, John T. Ellis, and Jaroslav Pelikan.Aware that every generation rewrites history, Bowden bases his investigation of major twentieth-century church historians on two questions: Why are young historians dissatisfied with earlier treatments? What leads them to believe their version is better?Henry Warner Bowden s extensive bibliography includes "A Century of Church History: ""The Legacy of Philip Schaff.""
