Intrigued that all 'church history' today seems to be biographical studies.
Do Evangelicals do any other type of (dare one say 'real') history?

You make a fair point. The advantage of the biography, of course, is that you know where to begin where to end and where to focus whereas otherwise all that is up or grabs. The Evangelical Library's experience is that when we do a historical subject (Old Princeton and may be Synod of Dordt) people are not so eager to be present.
