Early Religion: An Alternative History
What do the historians and archaeologists think of the veracity of religious legends? Legends are an amalgamation of history and mythology. But how much of each?
"HERESIES" WITHIN EARLY CHRISTIANITY
The "Heresies" were those losing varieties within early Christianity which were labelled as such by the 'victors'. The victors were the one particular variety who sold out to the Roman Emperors.
The Heresies were eventually suppressed, along with the Pagan religions.
David Miller will present the topic and lead the discussion.
He will look at the categories into which the varieties have been placed.
