Book Description:

It is commonly asserted that heresy is a Christian invention that emerged in late antiquity as Christianity distinguished itself from Judaism. Heresy, Forgery, Novelty clearly defines these three important terms in the study of ancient Judaism and early Christianity, and demonstrates that Christianity's heresiological impulse is in fact indebted to Jewish precedents.
