Arianism has been called the "archetypal Christian heresy" - a
denial of the divine status of Christ. In his examination, now
augmented by new material, Rowan Williams argues that Arius himself
was a dedicated theological conservative whose concern was to
defend the free and personal character of the Christian God. His
"heresy" grew out of the attempt to unite traditional biblical
language with radical philosophical ideas and techiniques, and was,
from the start, involved with issues of authority in the church.
Thus, the crisis of the early 4th century was not only about the
doctrine of God, but also about the relations between emperors,
bishops and ascetical "charismatic" teachers in the church's
decision-making. Williams raises the wider questions of how heresy
is defined and how certain kinds of traditionalism transform
themselves into heresy. With a fresh conclusion, in which the
author reflects on how his views have changed or remained the same,
and a new introduction, this book is suitable reading for students
of patristics, doctrine and church history.
