From Paul to Chalcedon:
9. Guarding Truth

In the early centuries of the Church, threats to orthodoxy meant that Christians had to find ways of guarding the truth revealed in Christ Jesus.

I our last two talks we say that two of the weapons used to guard against false teaching were the formulation of a definitive list of specifically Christian sacred writings and unity with the bishop.

In this final talk in the first part of this series, we look at two more weapons, apostolic succession and the rule of faith.

Finally, we wrap things up by reflecting on the nature and danger of heresy, both in ancient times and our own.
