About This Book
theologyhistorygnosticism
Is the ancient dualism of the Persian Magi still lurking within modern theology? Alticotius uncovers a provocative 'genealogy of heresy,' arguing that the radical denial of free will by the Reformers is simply the rebirth of the centuries-old Manichaean error. Readers will discover a high-stakes intellectual battleground where the nature of human liberty and the origin of evil are at the heart of the fight for the soul of Christianity.
