SynopsisArianism 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., Mandatory reading for students of patristics, doctrine and church history. Argues that Arius' 'heresy' grew out of his attempt to unite traditional biblical language with radical philosophical ideas and techniques; issues of authority were also involved., Arius is widely considered to be Rowan Williams' "magnum opus". With a fresh conclusion, in which the author reflects on how his views have changed or remained the same, this book will be useful reading for students of doctrine and church history.
