Inspired by analogies betwen the construction of heresy and the
representation of madness described by Michael Foucault in in
Histoire de la folie a l'age classique (Madness and Civilization),
The Notion of Heresy in Greek Literature in the Second and Third
Centuries demonstrates how the concept of heresy emerges in the
work of Justin Matyr. It shows that this invention created a
concept capable of dominating every current suspected of
endangering ecclesial harmony, and transformed the tradition of
Greek historiography of philosophical schools by combining it with
the apocalyptic theme of diabolical conspiracy. Le Boulluec
examines how this model is refined by Irenaeus, then modified by
Clement of Alexandria and Origen. First published in 1985 as
d'heresie dans la litterature grecque (IIe-IIIesiecles), this newly
translated work includes a substantial new introduction surveying
literature in the previous decades. In line wth Walter Bauer's
pioneering book, which overturned the confessional model making
heresy a later falsification of orthodoxy, it shows that the notion
of heresy was invented in the second century and then refined in
order to remove all legitimacy from diversity and pluralism in the
fields of doctrine and practice. Le Boulluec studies rhetorical
practices and polemical assimilations to highlight key debates on
the relationship between philosophy, Christianity, and Judaism, and
to examine the conflict of interpretations that drive the exegesis
of the Bible in constructing an orthodoxy.
