Content:
Historians of heresy typically understand the phenomenon as a Christian invention, a notion that emerges in late antiquity as Christianity distinguishes itself from Judaism. Operating with simpler, straightforward definitions of key terms, this text demonstrates that Christianity's heresiological impulse is indebted to Jewish precedents. Briefly put, the dynamic this work explores can be summarized as follows: Heresy involves the condemnation of novelty; forgery entails the feigning of antiquity.
