The Heretic’s Shadow: Mystery in Antioch

This captivating historical thriller is set in the 2nd century A.D., during the rise of the first Christian heresies. >In the 2nd century, Christianity continued to spread throughout the Roman Empire, gradually formalizing its organizational structure and shaping its core doctrine through the work of the so-called Apostolic Fathers. Yet the unity of the Church was increasingly threatened as the age of the great heresies began-especially with the growing danger of Gnosticism. The biblical canon was still unsettled, and alongside the four widely accepted Gospels, many others also circulated-apocryphal texts that preserved alternative traditions about Jesus. Journey to the magnificent city of Antioch-capital of Syria and the empire's third-largest metropolis-and experience an extraordinary story filled with emotion and suspense.
