Question what you think you know about Christian faith in Observations on Heresy and Orthodoxy.
This work presents a critical view of how church doctrines have been defended over centuries. It argues that saving faith is not the same as orthodoxy and that the New Testament should guide life and growth, not settle dogmatic debates.
- Explains why the author doubts that any living, divinely appointed authority has been established to settle disputed points.
- Shows how scripture is valuable as a record of the life of Christ and practical moral teaching, not as a fixed blueprint for every theological debate.
- Explores a personal journey from Orthodox belief toward Unitarianism and the reasons behind those shifts.
- Encourages readers to test interpretations by reason, conscience, and the overall spirit of the scriptures.
Ideal for readers of thoughtful religious history and Christian thought.
