The Bauer Thesis Examined: The Geography of Heresy in the Early Christian Church (Studies in the Bible and Early Christianity)

by Thomas A. Robinson

On This Page

Description

This study challenges the adequacy of the reconstruction of primitive Christianity advanced by Walter Bauer in Orthodoxy and Heresy in Earliest Christianity - the theory that so-called heretical movements were early, widespread, and strong. The author does this by citing the lack of data extensive enough to warrant such conclusions.
