Recenzii
“Not only a riveting story of ancient controversies, but also a much needed and timely correction to the commonly held notion that heretics were mostly free thinkers who challenged a narrow and closed orthodoxy.” — Justo L. González, author of The Story of Christianity
“Alister McGrath helps us understand what heresy is and why it exercises a powerful attraction upon the human mind. It is full of illuminating historical discussions and insights into the motivations that lead people to adopt heresy as a style of life and a personal demeanor.” — Dallas Willard, author of Knowing Christ Today
“A penetrating examination by an intellectual powerhouse.” — Booklist
