Listen "What's at Stake When Heresy Sells?"
Episode Synopsis
'Heresy' sells. Maybe it's because it's mysterious, dangerous, or entertaining. But the idea of ancient 'Christian heresies' is misleading. The tendency to make ideas 'right' or 'wrong' confuses the issues. Strong early Christian women, such as Mary Magdalene, Thecla, and Perpetua, posed a threat to the developing male hierarchy, but their words seem to be consistent with the words of the men. Heresy, then, is not a natural category; it is more about who the power brokers were.
