Heresies: Heresy and Orthodoxy in the History of the Church
|
"The history of Christian Theology is in large part a history of
heresies, because Jesus and the claims he made ... seemed incredible,"
writes the author. Heresies presents the story of how
succeeding generations of Christians through almost twenty centuries
have tried to understand, trust, and obey Jesus Christ. Particularly
concerned with christology and trinitarianism, the author calls on the
four major creeds of the church -- Apostles, Nicene, Athanasian, and
Chalcedonian -- to separate orthodoxy from heresy. He acknowledges
that heresy served this purpose historically, so it serves this
purpose pedagogically in Heresies. This volume presents a
clarion call to evangelicals to preserve tenaciously the faith once
delivered to the saints. |

The Story of Christian Theology: Twenty Centuries of
Tradition and Reform |
In This panoramic work of historical theology, Roger Olson vividly
recounts the deeds and words of the apostolic fathers of the second
century, the clash between the theological schools of Alexandria and
Antioch, the epochal division between East and West, the revolutionary
advent of the Reformation and much more -- right on up to the
dazzling, sometimes dismaying fallout that has continued to shake
Christians through the twentieth century. Through it all he highlights
a common thread: a concern for salvation -- God's redemptive activity
in forgiving and transforming sinful human beings. Winner of the
2000 ECPA Gold Medallion Book Award
