“…At the same time, he remains stubbornly blind to the interests Scotus and Aquinas share, interests that, if taken seriously, might cause him to recast his interpretation of their views and rethink his assessment of their respective efforts. Indeed, Cross and others are quick to point out that the Subtle Doctor's various disagreements with Aquinas are motivated by interests that are difficult to ignore, some having do with the need to remain faithful to the theological practice of the Church Fathers (Cross 2001, 21), some having to do with the difficulty of asserting the radical contingency of creation in the philosophical idiom of ancient Greece (Noone 1998). If Milbank's historical efforts fall short and his conclusions collapse into propaganda, it is precisely because he proceeds with a collection of interests that he refuses to revise in the face of these good reasons.…”

This special focus of the Journal of Religious Ethics begins with the mixture of admiration and apprehension that John Milbank's use of historical materials so often inspires and moves to specific reflection on specific figures and texts that appear in his grand story of secular modernity. Throughout, the focus is not on his moral theology per se, but rather on the way he treats certain figures, how he constructs his historical tale, and how his critical enterprise and his normative proposals depend upon his historical efforts. This introduction considers the difficulties of constructing and assessing a Geistesgeschichte, the genre of historical writing that Milbank prefers.
