Marcion and the Making of a Heretic

The first comprehensive monograph on the 'heretic' Marcion in nearly a century, this volume examines the major polemical accounts, including those from Justin, Irenaeus, Tertullian, and Ephraem, to demonstrate how the idea of heresy developed. It discusses Marcion's thought expressed through his Gospel, Apostolikon, and Antitheses in relation to second-century intellectual debate.
