Orthodoxy

Orthodoxy: Its Truth And Errors is a book written by James Freeman Clarke, an American theologian and author. The book is an exploration of the concept of orthodoxy, which refers to the accepted beliefs and practices of a particular religion or denomination. Clarke examines the nature of orthodoxy, its origins, and its role in shaping religious thought and practice.The book is divided into two parts. The first part explores the nature of orthodoxy, examining its historical development and its relationship to religious authority. Clarke argues that orthodoxy is not a fixed set of beliefs, but rather a dynamic process of interpretation and adaptation.The second part of the book examines the errors of orthodoxy, including dogmatism, intolerance, and the suppression of dissent. Clarke argues that these errors have often led to religious conflict and division, and that a more open and inclusive approach to religious belief is needed.Throughout the book, Clarke draws on his extensive knowledge of religious history and theology to provide a nuanced and insightful analysis of the concept of orthodoxy. The book is written in a clear and accessible style, making it suitable for both scholars and general readers interested in the history and philosophy of religion.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
