[Oe List ...] Heresy

[frank bremner]

A book I discovered back about 1979.  By conservative sociologist of religion Peter Berger: The Heretical Imperative.  He emphasises the root of the word heresy, as you have done, Rod.  

 

I wonder how he deals with various orthodoxies that are about.  I came across one recently when reading various translations of the book of Ruth.  One Lutheran one, obviously out to teach "correct Lutheran doctrine", had Ruth joining Naomi's "church".  "Church?"  Mmm.

 

Cheers
