Através da história da religião, Alister McGrath expõe a surpreendente trajetória da heresia ao longo do tempo. McGrath explica, também, porque as heresias nunca foram erradicadas – elas podem desaparecer em determinada época, mas reaparecer com roupagem diferente, em outra. Por outro lado, o autor apresenta uma ortodoxia poderosa, compassiva, e profundamente atrativa, que equipará a igreja para que possa enfrentar as heresias atuais, em suas mais diferentes formas.
"Agradeço a Deus por Alister McGrath. Você fará o mesmo, ao terminar de ler este livro. Texto e foco são claros, convincentes e compreensíveis. Não guarde essa leitura só para você. Compre outros exemplares e ofereça-os a outras pessoas." Rick Warren, autor do prefácio
"Alister McGrath nos ajuda a entender o que é heresia e o porquê dela exercer tamanha atração sobre a mente humana. Também encontramos discussões e insights sobre a motivação que conduz as pessoas a adotarem heresias como crença, estilo de vida e conduta." Dallas Willard, professor da Escola de Filosofia do Sul da Califórnia
"Este livro não é somente um decorrer da história de antigas controvérsias, mas também uma atual e necessária correção para a interpretação de que as heresias são simples pensamentos que se libertaram de uma estreita e fechada ortodoxia. O leitor compreenderá melhor as antigas heresias e adquirirá uma renovada apreciação pela ortodoxia cristã." Justo González, autor de Retorno à história do pensamento cristão… (more)
