History, Theology, and Faith / Dissolving the Modern Problematic.

Terrence Tilley analyzes current approaches to the relationship between history and theology and then shows how they affect faith. He argues that there is no single pattern of relationships between the two disciplines and that multiple patterns should be recognized. When accurately understood and properly used, historical investigations, so often construed as undermining faith, do no such thing; indeed, they can actually increase or strengthen faith.

Terrence W. Tilley is a professor of theology at the University of Dayton.
