Summary: majority rule?
Comment: Since when is truth determined by adhering to majority opinion? Those that constitute the most powerful block can filter history and erase memories of those who are not acceptable. Several of the reviews mention the Trinity and Arianism as the "main" heresy. Review the histories of Harnack, Rowan Williams, and RPC Hanson. The 4th century historical context was not so black and white or good and evil. What of the Protestant Reformation, or the history of the Jewish people at the hands of Catholicism, the oldest "orthodoxy" (next to the eastern Orthodox). Does a judgment of hersy lead to persecution? Historically it has and it would again if enough people in our modern society hadn't become unbelievers due to dictated doctrine and practice by the powers that be among the large churches. People like Shelby Spong certainly react to that same rigidity. Think for yourself, our God is not to small to reach towards all that truely seek him.

Summary: Heresy, History, and Doctrine, all rolled into one
Comment: Well done! This book is an excellent summary of church history in light of heresy. Dr. Brown does an admiral job of explaining the doctrine under attack, describing the heretical viewpoint, and then telling how that particular heresy was handled by the Church.
Rating: 5
