The Bauer Thesis Examined: The Geography of Heresy in the Early Christian Church

by Thomas Arthur Robinson

This study challenges the adequacy of the reconstruction of primitive Christianity advanced by Walter Bauer in Orthodoxy and Heresy in Earliest Christianity - the theory that so-called heretical movements were early, widespread, and strong. The author does this by citing the lack of data extensive enough to warrant such conclusions.
