Heresy studies is a new interdisciplinary, supra-religious, and
humanist field of study that focuses on borderlands of dogma,
probes the intersections between orthodoxy and heterodoxy, and
explores the realms of dissent in religion, art, and literature.
Free from confessional agendas and tolerant of both religious and
non-religious perspectives, heresy studies fulfill an important gap
in scholarly inquiry and artistic production. Divided into four
parts, the volume explores intersections between heresy and modern
literature, it discusses intricacies of medieval heresies, it
analyzes issues of heresy in contemporary theology, and it
demonstrates how heresy operates as an artistic stimulant. Rather
than treating matters of heresy, blasphemy, unbelief, dissent, and
non-conformism as subjects to be shunned or naively championed, the
essays in this collection chart a middle course, energized by the
dynamics of heterodoxy, dissent, and provocation, yet shining a
critical light on both the challenges and the revelations of
disruptive kinds of thinking and acting.
