The study examines church history writing in the 1930s. It presents the debates between theologians and “lay” historians, focusing on the state of the discipline, which also reflected the problematic relationship between theological and historical knowledge, between religious faith and scientific understanding. It alludes to the use and meaning of the permanent adjectives prevalent in the discipline (“Catholic” and “Protestant”), and then, via studies written by the young scholars of the journal Regnum, published by the Panel of Hungarian Catholic Historians, it illustrates the thematic and methodological opportunities that intellectual history, ethnographic history and social historiography offered to innovatory church history writing.
