O ser humano tem verdadeira fascinação por temas relacionados a um cristianismo alternativo. Isso se revela quando é publicado um texto do evangelho tradicional mesclado com ideias extravagantes, quando ocorrem novas descobertas arqueológicas sobre Jesus, ou quando alguma obra de ficção é publicada e chega a desafiar os fundamentos da igreja.

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

largely involving the social history of the period and the enormous influence the KJV has had on the English language along with BCP and Shakespeare. It is the flourishing era of Elizabeth England atop the Tudor State which is the basis of the book, and just how far the political stability of the era required a little island nation which had just weathered attack by Imperial (Catholic) Spain from an irate brother-in-law, could navigate between the Scylla of Catholic Absolutism in France and Spain, and the Charybdis of Protestantism in extremis - Puritanism as embodied in (believe it or not) radical, revolutionary Geneva.[return][return]That Protector Somerset could set the ball rolling did not stop it taking a few perilous turns as James I disappointed Presbyterians by his love of bishops and his son paid gor this disappointment with his head and a Puritan Republican Commonwealth until the revolution faltered and a new King returned with revised Prayebook, restored Anglican Church and its AV Bible which survived the lunacies of Charles II's brother and the rocky Stuart Era to be the epitome of Anglicanism even if the modern Church has worked assiduously to pull up its roots.… (more)

An excellent source-book for Christian theology through the whole of the Church's history. The sources - each with a short introduction - are arranged thematically, allowing the reader to discover how the debate in those areas has progressed. There is a helpful biographical section of the theologians cited, and a timeline of their work.
