Review 9: Heretics For Armchair Theologians (Gonzalez)

I can't imagine a worse book on heresy. First of all, the cartoons are irreverent. And then, there are all the problems with the actual content of the book, which are,
1) Defining heretics as basically 'good' people, 'believers,' who 'love God.' This is the third book I've read which falls into this error (Grant, 'A Brief History...," and McGrath, 'Heresies")
2) The claim that doctrine is in progress, developing, and that the early Church fumbled around - maybe getting it right, maybe getting it wrong (see, again, Grant and MrGrath for similar conclusions). This leaves us with no sound, clear doctrine, but rather a cloud of skepticism and false humility.
3) Totally confusing the Augustine/Pelagius debate, and offering a muddled perspective on grace. The biases of the author are in plain sight here (i.e. toward Arminianism).
