Reflections on historiographical developments in the history of Christianity tend to be a rather dry matter. Though dry, however, such reflections are important, since historiographical emphases not only tell us where scholarship has been in the past, but also-since we are directed to look at thelonge durée-why we are where we are. Historians tend to be, alas, a herd of independent minds, and there are vogues in scholarship no less than there are in haute couture. A generation ago, few historians used such terms as "discourse," "construction," "close reading," "intertextuality" even as monographs-even splendid monographs-on a burgomaster's daughter would have issued only from the pen of a secondary school teacher in Germany
