There is a lot of talk about heresy these days. The frequency and volume of accusations suggest that some Christians have lost a sense of the gravity of the word. On the other hand, many believers have little to no familiarity with orthodox doctrine or the historic distortions of it. What's needed is a strong dose of humility and restraint, and also a clear and informed definition of orthodoxy and heresy. In the Know the Heretics online course, scholar and author Justin Holcomb provides an accessible "travel guide" to the most significant heresies throughout Christian history.
Each unit covers a simple explanation of the unorthodox teaching, the orthodox response and a key defender, and reflections of contemporary relevance for application in today's world. As a part of the KNOW series, the Know the Heretics course is designed for personal study and traditional students, as well as small groups and Sunday school groups wanting to more deeply understand the foundations of the faith.
