A First-Century Heresy and Its Modern Counterpart

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  02 February 2009

Extract

The late Professor T. W. Manson once observed that the only sensible examination question on the early Christian centuries would run: ‘Give the heresies in order of merit, with reasons for your preferences.’ Just where the Colossian heresy, which is the theme of this paper, would stand in such an order of merit I should not like to say: though I imagine it might have the vote and preference of not a few, as being akin to certain well-marked trends in theological thought at the present time.
