| Summary: | For many years Mark Edwards has been known to students of patristics and the early church as an eminent author and translator (Neoplatonic Saints, 2002; Origen against Plato, 2002; Constantine and Christendom, 2003; Culture and Philosophy in the Age of Plotinus, 2006). Catholicity and Heresy in the Early Church is his latest book. In it he highlights the positive contribution of so-called ‘heresies’ to the formation of early Christian doctrine. In six chapters he discusses examples from the second to the fifth century: 1. ‘The Gnostic Beginnings of Orthodoxy’ (pp. 11–33); 2. ‘The Catholicity of Irenaeus’ (pp. 35–56); 3. ‘The Foundations of Catholic Teaching in the Third Century’ (pp. 57–77); 4. ‘Origen and Orthodoxy’ (pp. 79–103); 5. ‘The Nicene Council and its Aftermath’ (pp. 105–35); 6. |
