Статья посвящена проблемам, которые существуют в преподавании церковноисторических дисциплин в духовных заведениях Русской Православной Церкви. По мнению автора, основные проблемы заключаются в исключении курса «Общая церковная история» из учебного плана бакалавриата, во введении новых предметов и как следствие этого, в размывании тематических границ между церковно-историческими дисциплинами. Автор высказывает своё частное, субъективное мнение относительно вариантов улучшения преподавания церковно-исторических дисциплин в духовных заведениях Русской Православной Церкви. The article deals with the problems that exist in the teaching of church-historical disciplines in ecclesiastical institutions of the Russian Orthodox Church. According to the author, the main problems are the exclusion of the course "General Church History" from the Baccalaureate curriculum, the introduction of new subjects and, as a consequence, the blurring of thematic boundaries between church-historical disciplines. The author expresses his private, subjective opinion on the options for improving the teaching of church history disciplines in ecclesiastical institutions of the Russian Orthodox Church.

Teaching Church

May I begin with a personal introduction to the theme of this evening's lecture, the encounter between continental pietism and New England Puritanism? I began teaching Church history at the Martin Luther University in Halle-Wittenberg in 1932. There I had the opportunity to study the archives of August Hermann Francke, in the old library of Francke's orphanage. These archives were in a state of highly inspiring disorder, for there were chances of all kinds of unforeseen discoveries, both in the many boxes containing Francke's correspondence and on the shelves holding all the books sent to this head of pietism by his friends all over the world. At first, I studied his correspondence with ministers, scholars, bishops and generals in Russia and the Baltics, publishing an article about Francke in Russia. Then I came across some boxes which held an enormous mass of material connected with New England, letters to German ministers and German communities in Pennsylvania, diaries of emigrants, together with letters in English from Puritan theologians and New England missionaries. I was especially interested in Francke's correspondence with Cotton Mather.

Teaching Church

Looking over the published proceedings of our Society, I find no mention of the reading of a paper dealing with what is the occupation of about half of our members, the teaching of Church History. Discussions of this subject are recorded, but no formal treatment. Therefore, it has seemed not inappropriate to consider in this address some questions which constantly present themselves in the daily work of many here present. Our business is teaching Church History, and with almost all it is this teaching as a part of the training of men for the Christian ministry. Were there no such training, there would be little teaching of the subject to which our Society is devoted. The raîson d'être of our teaching must vitally affect it. We are bound by every sort of obligation to keep always in view the practical purpose which gives us being as teachers.

ABSTRACTRecent efforts to write the global history of Christianity respond to demographic changes in Christianity and use “global” in three ways. First, “global” suggests efforts at more comprehensive historical retrieval, especially to place the beginnings of Christian communities not within mission history but within the church history in those areas. Second, “global” can refer to the broader comparative perspectives on Christianity's history, especially the history of religions. Finally, “global” can indicate attempts to retell the entire Christian story from a self-consciously worldwide perspective. Recent works also raise new theological and pragmatic challenges to the discipline of church history.
