What implicats do Christian faith and practice have for living out one's calling as an historian?. Their objects of concern are historians such as George Marsden and Mark Noll, who have won the respect of their profess. Product DescriptAt the end of his landmark 1994 book,The Soul of the American University, historian George Marsden asserted that religious faith does indeed have a place in today?s academia. Marsden?s content sparked a heated debate on the role of religious faith and intellectual scholarship in academic journals and in the mainstream media. The contributors toConfessing History: Explorats in Christian Faith and the Historian?s Vocat expand the discuss about relig?s role in educat and culture and examine what the relatship between faith and learning means for the academy today. The contributors toConfessing History ask how the vocat of historian affects those who are also followers of Christ. What implicats do Christian faith and practice have for living out one?s calling as an historian? And to what extent does one?s calling as a Christian disciple speak to the nature, quality, or goals of one?s work as scholar,cher, adviser, writer, community member, or social commentator? Written from several different theological and professal points of view, the essays collected in this volume explore the vocat of the historian and its place in both the personal and professal lives of Christian disciples.Review?Confessing History suggests that there is a Christian vers of Ambrose?s Law, which the editors would probably call Marsden?s Law. Their objects of concern are historians such as George Marsden and Mark Noll, who have won the respect of their profess. The worry is that by seeking success with that audience, Christian historians have failed to be sufficiently Christian.? ?Books and Culture?Confessing History fills a large gap in the literature on Christian and especially evangelical historiography. I know of no other book or anthology of scholarly articles that so carefully analyzes how believing historians should work within the intellectual expectats of the guild. And it does so with pristine prose, impressive erudit, and charity of spirit. After reading Confessing History, I find myself compelled to take the prescripts and proscripts of the secular academy less seriously and my identity as a Christian historian more seriously.? -- Grant Wacker, Duke UniversityAbout the AuthorJohn Fea is associate professor of American history and chair of the history department at Messiah College.Jay Green is professor of history at Covenant College.Eric Miller is associate professor of history at Geneva College.
