WESTAR PRESS RELEASE:
- The post-Constantinian project of creating a “catholic” Church, characterized by uniform theologies, structures, and practices, co-opted selected earlier Christian persons and groups to legitimate that project and should not determine our understanding of those persons and groups.
WTF does that actually mean? I need a translator.
I do not understand this statement by the Westar Institute. Can someone paraphrase it? Or maybe provide an example of what these "earlier Christian persons and groups" were? Are these the so-called "Valentinians" or "Sethians" or other categories used by NHL academics to split the NHL into "communities" of authors?
