The Conference on Faith and
History is a community of scholars exploring the
relationship between Christian faith and history. We welcome
members from a variety of Christian traditions around the
world. We also seek to learn from scholars outside the
Christian tradition. Our primary goal is to encourage
excellence in the theory and practice of history from the
perspective of historic Christianity.
Purposes
The purposes of the
Conference on Faith and History are the following:
To encourage scholars to
explore the relationship between Christian faith and
historical studies.
To provide a forum for
discussion of philosophies, methods, and traditions of
history and to foster research in the
general area of faith
and history.
To encourage and advance
teaching and research informed by Christian faith
commitments.
To bring before the larger
historical community the concerns and perspectives of
Christian historians.
To sponsor international,
national, and regional meetings.
To publish Fides et Historia.
To provide a context for
mentoring and networking among historians from various
Christian traditions.
