Abstract

Some recent developments in the field of Church History elsewhere in the worldThe academic subject of church history in South Africa is facing various challenges on its way into the twenty first century. In many ways it can also be regarded as a science in transition with realities like paradigm-switches, processes of reinterpretation and a new dialogue between church historians and secular historians. In this process the knowledge and understanding of recent developments in the field of church history elsewhere in the world can be of great value and relevance for the church historian in the South African context.
