The Quest for Early Church Historiography explores how early church historiography underwent a significant shift beginning with the thought of Ferdinand Christian Baur (1792-1860), a shift that eventually culminated in the current extreme historiographies of such scholars as Bart D. Ehrman (1955-). Through the tracing of this historiographical trajectory, this work argues that, rather than seeing these current historiographies as having suddenly appeared...

To pose that question, it does not reject determinacy outright but rather seeks to explore how it works. In examining what it means to be 'determined' by history, it also asks what kind of openings there might be in our encounters with history for interruptions, re-readings, and re-writings....
