Summary
One cannot write a history of theology1 without involving spiritual motives and concepts as constitutive impulses (principia) that have influenced and propelled the progress of history. Therefore, a history of theology does not need to be a classical history of ideas2 and may not exclude from its consideration historical facts, contexts, and human interests. It will instead always attempt to understand the historical rationality, the “meaning,” and relevance of theological concepts and to appreciate them as motives of the historical actors.
