from our class in Medieval Church History: the narrative of History is founded on a thorough and critical reading of primary sources. since the Church is both a divine and human institution, ecclesiastical history can only be concerned with the human dimension of the Church. in other words, Church History only deals with the story of the Church as a human institution. the professor then asked, “Why can’t we write a history of the Church as a divine institution?” and so i doodled.
