The Meaning of History - Posing the Problem

The Meaning of History - Posing the Problem

  • Semi-Technical
  • Bruce Shelly

What is history? The author argues that it is a science in that it asks questions of the past, and an art in that it is a recording of events in an interesting way. The data of the historian is thus a composite of fact and evaluation. Historians cannot avoid the questions of philosophy. The author reflects on the meaning of history.

A man can no more diminish God’s glory by refusing to worship Him than a lunatic can put out the sun by scribbling the word “darkness” on the walls of his cell. C. S. Lewis
