Author Description

Originally written in the fourth century AD, Saint Philastrius's "De Haeresibus Liber" is a comprehensive catalogue of all the heresies and heretical movements that had arisen in the early Christian Church up to that time. By examining the various deviations from orthodox doctrine and furminating against them, Philastrius offers a vivid glimpse into the tumultuous theological debates that characterized the Church during its formative years.
