Review of 'The Great Heresies' on Goodreads
5 stars
Twice: as soon as I had finished I started again.
History just how I like it: important, familiar yet new, openly opinionated.
Virtually every sentence was interesting, but especially intriguing were:
Islam as a heresy, not as a new religion
Today's disbelief, rejection, as a heresy
The continuing anti-joy purity of successive heresies
The development of the Protestant split from a series of other problems - it was nearly impossible in isolation.
