A comprehensive and authoritative account of the 'heretic' Marcion,
this volume traces the development of the concept and language of
heresy in the setting of an exploration of second-century Christian
intellectual debate. Judith M. Lieu analyses accounts of Marcion by
the major early Christian polemicists who shaped the idea of
heresy, including Justin Martyr, Irenaeus, Tertullian, Epiphanius
of Salamis, Clement of Alexandria, Origen, and Ephraem Syrus. She
examines Marcion's Gospel, Apostolikon, and Antitheses in detail
and compares his principles with those of contemporary Christian
and non-Christian thinkers, covering a wide range of controversial
issues: the nature of God, the relation of the divine to creation,
the person of Jesus, the interpretation of Scripture, the nature of
salvation, and the appropriate lifestyle of adherents. In this
innovative study, Marcion emerges as a distinctive, creative figure
who addressed widespread concerns within second-century Christian
diversity.
