Can God suffer? Can people be saved by their own efforts? The early church puzzled over these questions, ruling in some beliefs and ruling out others. Heresies and How to Avoid Them explains the principal ancient heresies and shows why contemporary Christians still need to know about them. These famous detours in Christian believing seemed plausible and attractive to many people in the past, and most can still be found in modern-day guises. By learning what it is that Christians don't believe--and why--believers today can gain a deeper, truer understanding of their faith. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
Top ten theologians, all practising Christians, tackle ten ancient heresies and show why the contemporary Church still needs to know about them. Christians need to remember what these great early heresies were and why they were ruled out, or else risk falling prey to their modern day manifestations. The book contains key scriptural passages relevant to each heresy, a glossary of terms, and summaries of historical Church documents in which these heresies were defined and outlawed.

This edited book is a compilation several theologians and clergy's discussion of several ancient heresies with an apology of why each is wrong. The book is divided in two parts, heresies regarding the person of Christ and heresies of the church and Christian living. (I'm especially thankful of the God's grace with Donatism.) If the reader believes that new heretical behavior isn't possible, one of the editors closes the book with contemporary heresies.
This book is an easy to understand and suitable for adult Christian education and useful for all new clergy who find themselves assigned by their elder clergy to preach on Trinity Sunday. ( )
