Against New Heresies - Paperback

by Pope III Shenouda (Author)

The dangers of the new heresies, refuted in this book, are that they originate from people who are within the Church-or who were so-and that these heresies were used to wrongly express the Orthodox faith. Some of those, who wrote and spread these heresies, have lived abroad and have become influenced by the ideological deviations that are there. Others, though they have not been abroad, have read books published by Western writers, have become influenced by them, have adopted their ideas, and have desired to spread what they have adopted. And yet there are others who love any new opinion, the foreign, anomalous, and they see self-glory in spreading it-for they now know what others do not. His Holiness Pope Shenouda III addresses, in this book, some of the most dangerous new heresies, which constitute theological concepts of the uttermost gravity. Out of His Holiness' responsibility to preserve the teaching of the Church pure of any blemish, he explains the erroneous ideas, so that our generation may hand it down to the coming generations sound as it has been handed down to us.
