In an era when false teaching spreads faster than ever through social media, podcasts, and popular Christian books, the ability to discern truth from error is no longer optional—it's essential for every church leader, seminary student, and mature believer.

"Identifying and Understanding Heresy" is the comprehensive textbook you've been waiting for.

Written by an experienced theological educator, this 18-chapter guide equips you with the biblical, historical, and practical tools to recognize and respond to false doctrine in its ancient and modern forms.

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN:

- Biblical Foundations - Master the scriptural tests for orthodoxy and false teaching across both Testaments

- Historical Context - Discover how Gnosticism, Arianism, Pelagianism, and other ancient heresies emerged and were defeated

- Theological Framework - Understand WHY certain teachings are heretical and what they undermine in the gospel

- Contemporary Applications - Identify how Word-Faith theology, Progressive Christianity, New Apostolic Reformation, and other modern movements connect to ancient errors

- Practical Diagnostic Tools - Use questionnaires, comparison charts, and conversation guides to evaluate teaching in your context

- Pastoral Wisdom - Learn how to respond to heresy with both truth and love, counsel those attracted to false teaching, and when church discipline is necessary

COMPREHENSIVE COVERAGE INCLUDES:

Christological heresies (Docetism, Arianism, Nestorianism)
Trinitarian errors (Modalism, Tritheism, Subordinationism)
Soteriological deviations (Pelagianism, Antinomianism, Universalism)
Ecclesiological debates (Donatism, church authority issues)
Modern movements (Prosperity Gospel, Open Theism, Federal Vision)
The psychology, culture, and politics behind heresy

Mature Christians committed to doctrinal discernment

WHAT READERS ARE SAYING: "Finally, a textbook that combines academic rigor with pastoral wisdom. Every chapter is both intellectually satisfying and practically applicable."

Don't let false doctrine infiltrate your church. Equip yourself with the knowledge to guard the faith once delivered to the saints.

About the Author

Arthur A. Tiger is a writer and theologian who explores the territory where faith meets science, philosophy, and the mysteries of human experience. At the heart of his work stands the apostle Paul - a figure he returns to again and again, reconstructing lost epistles, reimagining Paul's voice for today, and tracing the depths of his radical transformation. Beyond Pauline studies, Tiger writes across an unusually wide range: from astrobiology and cosmology to psychology, relationships, and cultural criticism - always searching for the connections that unite these disciplines rather than divide them. His own journey from skepticism to faith runs through everything he writes. Rather than offering easy answers, he invites readers to discover that honest questioning and genuine belief are not opposites but companions - and that every scientific discovery is not a challenge to faith but an invitation to see it more clearly.
