Arius : Heresy and Tradition

Williams, Rowan

Arius : Heresy and Tradition Rowan Williams - U.S.A. William B. Eerdmans Pub. Co. 2002 - 378tr. Paperback, illustrations 23 cm

Arianism has been called the ""archetypal Christian heresy"" because it denies the divinity of Christ. ... His ""heresy"" grew out of an attempt to unite traditional biblical language with radical philosophical ideas and techniques and was, from the start, involved with issues of authority in the church. ... In the course of his discussion, Williams raises the vital wider questions of how heresy is defined and how certain kinds of traditionalism transform themselves into heresy. Augmented with a new appendix in which Williams interacts with significant scholarship since 1987, this book provides fascinating reading for anyone interested in church history and the development of Christian doctrine.
