The Heresy of Orthodoxy
How Contemporary Culture's Fascination with Diversity Has Reshaped Our Understanding of Early Christianity
Ranked #76 in Church History, Ranked #100 in New Testament
Beginning with Walter Bauer in 1934, the denial of clear orthodoxy in early Christianity has shaped and largely defined modern New Testament criticism, recently given new life through the work of spokesmen like Bart Ehrman. Spreading from academia into mainstream media, the suggestion that diversity of doctrine in the early church led to many competing orthodoxies is indicative of today's postmodern relativism. Authors KOstenberger and Kruger engage Ehrman and others in this polemic against a dogged adherence to popular ideals of diversity.
