Know the Heretics (Know Series)

"I applaud the KNOW series in its effort to equip the saints; I encourage pastors and laypeople alike to diligently read these books."

"Why do we need to know the heretics? In this brief, balanced, and readable volume, Justin Holcomb shows that the old heresies keep coming back or never quite go away. His book is an informative introduction to ancient heresy and orthodoxy, and provides necessary weapons for combating their contemporary permutations."

"With pastoral insight and historical integrity, Dr. Holcomb has provided us with an accessible handbook on the major heretics and heresies of the church. Holcomb not only helps to unravel the ancient heresies of the church but also shows how they relate to similar heresies in our own day."

"Jesus promised that the Spirit would lead the church into truth. That means that history matters. These concise books from Justin Holcomb are invitations into that history, to see how the Spirit led the church to articulate the orthodox Christian faith and how that scriptural imagination helped them discern errors and wrong turns. We need this wisdom more than ever in our postmodern moment."

"The KNOW series gives local leaders and churches short, succinct, accurate, theologically informed, and relevant sketches of big topics in theology. Pastors and professors will discover they are unable to keep students from these volumes."

"I welcome the KNOW series as an important companion in our lifelong quest to know God better."

"Faithful wisdom through the centuries needs to be explored for our own engagement with Scripture today. It takes a gifted scholar to survey these sources well, and a gifted teacher to communicate them to the person in the pew. Justin Holcomb is that sort of scholar-communicator"
