Document Details : Title: La réforme protestante aux Pays-Bas: Tournants dans l'historiographie du XXe siècle Author(s): JANSE, Wim Journal: Ephemerides Theologicae Lovanienses Volume: 80 Issue: 1 Date: April 2004 Pages: 76-92 DOI: 10.2143/ETL.80.1.504556 Abstract : The twentieth-century historiography of the Protestant Reformation in the Netherlands (1520-1620) offers evidence of four major shifts in approach: from a partisan or compartmentalised to a neutral approach and from a chiefly theological to an integrated approach, from a national to a European perspective, and from a focus on the national to a focus on the local and regional level. The increasing multi-disciplinarity within the field has resulted in a broadening of the range of useful sources and a discussion on the academic position of church history. These shifts mirror contemporary socio-cultural changes, such as de-pillarisation, ecumenism, deconfessionalisation, and internationalisation. |
