Publisher's Synopsis
The History of Heresies and Their Refutation: Or, The Triumph of the Church is a comprehensive study of the various heresies that have arisen throughout the history of Christianity, and the ways in which the Church has refuted them. Written by the renowned theologian and Doctor of the Church, Alphonsus Liguori, the book provides a detailed account of the origins, beliefs, and practices of numerous heretical sects, including the Gnostics, Arians, Nestorians, and many others. Liguori also examines the theological arguments used by these groups, and demonstrates how the Church has responded to them with sound doctrine and clear reasoning. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of Christian thought, as well as for those seeking to understand the ongoing struggle between orthodoxy and heresy within the Church.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
