Abstract
The hermeneutics of church history and the “history of theology”: A “new paradigm” for church history 
 
 This study reflects on a new paradigm for church history. The traditional definition of church history, as a study of the growth and development of the church in all its facets, constricts church history to disclose too little about too much. This paper argues in favor of all that can be gained by a new paradigm for church history as a history of theology. A history of theology focuses more on the different theologies and the theological debates of the different periods in the history of the church.

Summary
Kerkgeskiedenis kan veel meer inhou as bloot die oorvertel van historiese gebeure wat die kerk aangaan, en dit kan veel meer inhou as die onthou van tallose name en datums rondom die gebeure. Kerkgeskiedenis kan meer aanbied as wat gewoonweg deur sy tradisionele taakbeskrywing voorgeskrywe word. Gesien, baie meer voordelig vir kerkgeskiedenis wees, meer waarde inhou vir die teologie in die geheel, en bykomend baie opwindend en motiverend vir die student en die navorser wees. Hierdie artikel poog om die waarde van kerkgeskiedenis as teologiegeskiedenis aan te toon in die leerplan van teologiese studente. Die artikel beredeneer die saak, probeer aantoon waar begin moet word in die aanpak van teologiegeskiedenis, en demonstreer dan ook in ’n bondige voorbeeld hoe teologiegeskiedenis operasioneel sal lyk
