Check out Bernard Schweizer's new book: Christianity and the Triumph of Humor: From Dante to David Javerbaum (@routledgebooks). Taking a multi-disciplinary approach, this book explores the centrality of humor in the story of Western Christianity’s cultural & artistic development.

@determineddad17 If it’s primarily Christianity that you are asking about, most heretics thought of themselves as part of the church.

[Heresy Studies @HeresyStudies]

@determineddad17 Individual heretics may have had symbols that were meaningful to them, but there is no particular universal symbol or insignia for the heretics. Heretics were never uniform in this way, as if they formed a confederation akin to the catholic (small c) church.

As W. Löhr writes, heresiology is “part and parcel of the theological memory of Christianity”—and wouldn’t you know it, ready-made for weaponization against #ReligiousStudies practitioners 👇🏼

[Morten Beckmann @MortenBeckmann]

One of the main representatives of the Norwegian Bible Society has recently proclaimed that “Bible translation is still a fight against heresy”. Anders Martinsen and I have written a feature story in @vaartland, asking: Is this the translation policy of the NBS? Link below

"Heresy studies cuts across disciplines and departmental silos in provocative ways, upsetting power structures and hierarchies like heresy itself always does." Or so I say here, my words eclipsed by @GeremyCarnes @MortenBeckmann @virginwoolf and others. @HeresyStudies #Heresy
