SEHS 905  Heresies and Orthodoxies: From the First to the Twenty-first Century

What is heresy? Is Christian orthodoxy one or many? What are the core limits of doctrinal freedom and the freedom of expression within Christianity? Who has the authority and power to decide what is and is not “Christian”? What role does the Bible have? How does ecumenism relate to orthodoxy and heresy? The course will consider key persons and movements, ideas and developments in Christian history from the New Testament to the present.
