Why study the past? The quest for the historical church
Williams, Rowan
Why study the past? The quest for the historical church - Grand Rapids Eerdmans 2005 - 129 20 cm
Rowan Williams offers some reflection on how we think about the past in general and considers how church history has been used by theologians not just to prove points, but to clarify what we are as human beings. Emerging from this is a sense of the importance of history as something that deepens our present thinking and obliges us to think with more varied and resourceful analogies about who we are and the world we are in.
