HOUSTON, Peter. Expanding Historical Theological Perspectives through Transdisciplinary Meta-methodological Engagement. Studia Hist. Ecc. [online]. 2021, vol.47, n.1, pp.1-14. ISSN 2412-4265.  http://dx.doi.org/10.25159/2412-4265/9150.

Transdisciplinarity emerged at the end of the twentieth century and has come to be conceived of as a meta-methodology that seeks to transcend the different methodologies of segregated disciplines. The meta-methodology of transdisciplinarity finds expression in four different frameworks advanced by Rimondi and Veronese. This paper will expand historical theological perspectives by engaging with this transdisciplinarity meta-methodology. Since transdisciplinarity inherently goes beyond any one discipline, it can therefore influence historical theology without becoming it, and vice versa. Transdisciplinarity is set to increasingly influence theology with transdisciplinary theologians seeking to perceive more clearly the boundaries and potentialities of theological reflection.
