Description
Jesus' divinity and humanity, God's capacity for suffering, human ability to save oneself, and the need for Christian ministers to be perfect are all questions that have been addressed by the early Christian Church. To establish orthodox beliefs and reject heretical ones, these issues were explored. Twelve top theologians, all practising Christians, examine twelve ancient heresies in this book. They argue that heresies never truly disappear but continue as live options for belief. The essays included here are scholarly yet accessible, demonstrating how attractive and plausible heresies can be and the intellectual effort required to resist them. The contemporary Church benefits from understanding these early heresies and their modern-day manifestations. By remembering what was ruled out by the early Church, Christians can better navigate potential pitfalls and maintain a strong foundation for their faith.
