The Quest for Early Church Historiography

Focusing on the evolution of early church historiography, this work examines the significant shift initiated by Ferdinand Christian Baur and its development into contemporary extreme historiographies exemplified by scholars like Bart D. Ehrman. It argues that current historiographical trends are not sudden phenomena but rather the culmination of a long and complex trajectory filled with various influences and changes. Readers are encouraged to recognize the intrinsic connections throughout this historical progression.
