AB In this introduction, we first briefly describe the replication crisis as it occurred primarily in the biomedical and social sciences. We then argue for the possibility and desirability of replication in the humanities, particularly historiography. After that, we clarify why we opted for the replication of John Hedley Brooke’s 1991 book Science and Religion: Some Historical Perspectives, specifically its third chapter. We elucidate why we chose to do both a direct and a conceptual replication. Finally, we lay out the procedures we used to conduct the two replication studies and look ahead to what is to come in this thematic section.
