Irenaeus, Joseph Smith, and God-Making Heresy seeks both to
demonstrate the salience of "heresy" as a tool for analyzing
instances of religious conflict far beyond the borders of
traditional historical theology and to illuminate the apparent
affinity for deification exhibited by some persecuted religious
movements. To these ends, the book argues for a
sociologically-informed redefinition of heresy as
religiously-motivated opposition and applies the resulting concept
to the historical cases of second-century Christians and
nineteenth-century Mormons. Ultimately, Irenaeus, Joseph Smith, and
God-Making Heresy is a careful application of the comparative
method to two new religious movements, highlighting the social
processes at work in their early doctrinal developments.
