This book proposes a radical critique of the methodological and onto-epistemological presuppositions of the catholic tradition of theology for the sake of a post-catholic Protestant reinterpretation of the Christian faith without metaphysics. Drawing from the thought of Michel Henry and Huldrych Zwingli while making unique contributions of its own, it addresses the method for theology, theological onto-epistemology, the doctrine of God, the person and work of Jesus, the nature of the Church and of Christian faith, and the sacraments of baptism and the Eucharist.

'Orthodoxy' and 'heresy' are essential categories by which the 'Catholic' theological tradition evaluates the (im)propriety of various beliefs and practices relative to its non-negotiable commitments. This Element sketches moments in the development of Christian 'orthodoxy' and 'heresy' in time, as much in the Old and New Testament as in the history of the Church. It also touches upon the vexed theological-methodological question of the relation between Scripture and ecclesial Tradition before concluding with a critique of the 'Catholic' tradition's preoccupation with 'orthodoxy' and 'heresy' in favor of a Christian theology 'without anathemas' that is concerned only for truth.
