The Heresy of Orthodoxy: How Contemporary Culture’s Fascination With Diversity Has Reshaped Our Understanding of Early Christian

New Testament scholars K繹stenberger (Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary) and Kruger (Reformed Theological Seminary, North Carolina) challenge the pluralist and postmodernist purveyors of religious diversity who claim that orthodoxy was grafted onto Christianity rather than an original element of it. They argue that the teachings of Jesus and the first Christians brought a unified message that cannot be bent to convenience. Their topics are pluralism and the origins of the New Testament; the development of the New Testament canon; and manuscripts, scribes, and textual transmission.
