魏晋南北朝时期，佛教流行并日益兴盛，作为时代的主要社会思潮之一，对当时史学给予了深刻的影响。而史学作为魏晋南北朝学术的大宗，对于佛教也给予了一定的影响。 论文对于佛教与魏晋南北朝史学的研究分绪论、正文和结语三部分展开。 绪论部分共有三节。第一节介绍了魏晋南北朝佛教流行和史学繁荣的大致情况，并肯定佛教流行是魏晋南北朝史学繁荣的重要促进因素，史学发展对佛教也有重要影响。第二节分析了论题研究的意义和学界的研究状况。第三节讨论了论题研究的方法和创新之处。 正文部分共分五章，其中前四章分别讨论了佛教对魏晋南北朝史家的历史观、民族观、思维方式、历史撰述内容取向的影响，最后一章则分析了魏晋南北朝史学多途性发展对于佛教史籍撰述的影响。具体内容分述如下： 第一章，佛教与魏晋南北朝史家的历史观。魏晋南北朝时期，不仅有许多史家的命运观被打上了佛教业报轮回学说的深刻烙印，而且还有不少史家为宣扬天命王权的需要，往往自觉或不自觉地在其史著中吸收、利用了佛教神秘主义思想的一些内容，其王权观因此打上了佛教的深刻烙印。 第二章，佛教与魏晋南北朝史家的民族观。魏晋南北朝时期历时三百年之久的佛教西行求法活动，以及由此产生的大量求法游记，丰富了当时史家的民族视野，有助于他们对西域、南亚和东南亚地区的了解。而随着佛教流行，佛教众生平等思想对一些史家华夷平等观念的产生，也有不容忽视的影响。 第三章，佛教与魏晋南北朝史家的思维方式。佛教的一些思维方式为魏晋南北朝时期的部分史家所接受，进而对其历史撰述有所影响。佛教“问难”思维的影响是这一时期史考思辨性的重要成因，而佛教的“般若”思维则是促成这一时期史论宏观性的重要因素。此外，魏晋南北朝通史撰述的再现也与佛教时空观的影响有一定的关系。 第四章,佛教与魏晋南北朝历史撰述的内容取向。魏晋南北朝佛教流行对当时史家历史撰述的内容取向有一定的影响。佛教流行不仅促使正史撰述对佛教关注不断增强，而且还造成佛经类典籍在目录学中的地位不断提高。 第五章，史学多途性发展与魏晋南北朝佛教史籍的撰述。魏晋南北朝时期，佛教史籍的撰述较为兴盛。这种局面虽然与佛教流行有关，但在很大程度上是由当时史学多途发展的形势所促成。史学的求真和致用思想对佛教史籍的撰述也有较大影响。 结语部分，综合分析了魏晋南北朝佛教与史学的关系。
