<br/><br/>A fresh start: continuity with innovations -- The end of scientific objectivity, the emergence of new apologetics -- Higher ecclesiology as a basis for history -- Searches for consensus and a common past -- Intellectual history and the history of ideas -- Syntheses and new explorations -- Exemplary scholarship in the penultimate decade -- Overview. 
<br/><br/> Essential to Catholic, Protestant, and even secular scholars of American religious history this is the first historiographical analysis of the work of Henry K. Rowe, James H. Nichols, Leonard J. Trinterud, H. Shelton Smith, John T. McNeill, Herbert W. Schneider, Robert T. Handy, John T. Ellis, and Jaroslav Pelikan. Aware that every generation rewrites history, Bowden bases his investigation of major twentieth-century church historians on two questions: Why are young historians dissatisfied with earlier treatments? What leads them to believe their version is better? Henry Warner Bowdens extensive bibliography includes A Century of Church History: The Legacy of Philip Schaff.
