Difficulties of the Christian Historian?

Abstract

The challenges that have arisen due to the intellectual currents of the second part of the 20th century have led broader academia further away from the humanities in general , while history in particular has suffered perhaps in a greater degree. The author proposes the core views of two scholars about the nature and the task of the discipline of history as a potential way forward. Jaroslav Pelikan as well as Father George Florovsky are juxtaposed and interpreted in a way that highlights their connection to one another, while showing their relation to Bulgaria and specifically to the Theological Faculty of Sofia University "St. Kliment Ohridski".
