With similar patterns recurring in our time, one Catholic bishop is calling out to souls:
“Know the errors and embrace the truth!”
In Flee from Heresy, Bishop Athanasius Schneider — raised among persecuted Catholics in the Soviet Union — offers a systematic treatment of more than 130 doctrinal errors, from ancient times down to our own day, along with English translations of the Church’s major anti-heresy documents of the past two centuries.
In this fascinating exposé, you will discover the ideological roots of our own unsteady times and be better equipped to “test all things; hold fast what is good” (1 Thess. 5:21). You will learn:
- What heresy is — and what it is not
- A sweeping history of heresies across the centuries
- How heresy destroys charity and the spiritual life
- Why God allows heresy to afflict His holy Church
- Names and categories of more than 130 doctrinal errors
- The nefarious heresy of the anti-Christ and the anti-Mary
- How heresy relates to schism, apostasy, and excommunication
- Why the Virgin Mary is invoked as “Destroyer of Heresies”
Combining theological precision, superb historical insight, and concrete principles for action today, Flee from Heresy is a timely and trustworthy guide to errors old and new.
