Classifying Christians investigates late antique Christian
heresiologies as ethnographies that catalogued and detailed the
origins, rituals, doctrines, and customs of the heretics in
explicitly polemical and theological terms. Oscillating between
ancient ethnographic evidence and contemporary ethnographic
writing, Todd S. Berzon argues that late antique heresiology shares
an underlying logic with classical ethnography in the ancient
Mediterranean world. By providing an account of heresiological
writing from the second to fifth century, Classifying Christians
embeds heresiology within the historical development of imperial
forms of knowledge that have shaped western culture from antiquity
to the present.
