  • HISTORY

My name is Steve Weaver. I am a church historian with a PhD in Church History. Along my academic and spiritual journey I have been blessed with God with many friendships that have made an impact on me. I want to host conversations on this channel with some of my friends who happen to be church historians. We'll talk about how we met, how our lives and academic careers have intersected, and discuss history. Hopefully, others will find it interesting, but, regardless, I will enjoy it!

    A Conversation Ian Hugh Clary

    In this episode, I talk with my friend Ian Hugh Clary about our friendship, our work together editing 'The Pure Flame of Devotion' (a volume dedicated to our mentor Michael A.G. Haykin), and his soon-to-be published work on the historiography of Arnold Dallimore (biographer of George Whitefield and others). We talked about the important historiographical issues raised by an analysis of Dallimore's work and where his work fits within the two poles of the spectrum between a providentialist or objectivist approach to history.
