| Summary: | Missiological perspectives are propitiously situated to remedy major difficulties in the modern writing of history. First, missiology allows church history to be written as the truly global subject that it has become in the last two centuries. Second, missiology provides useful pointers for how believing historians may do their work in ways respecting both theology and science. Third, missiology offers useful hints for mediating among the diverse practices of history (pre-modern or ideological, modern or scientific, post-modern or deconstructive) that have created an epistemological crisis in the modern writing of history. |
