Definition
A scholar or expert who studies heresies, their origins, characteristics, and theological significance.
Etymology
From Greek hairesis (heresy) + -logia (study of) + -ist (one who practices). Became standardized in academic theology in the 18th-19th centuries as theological scholarship became more systematic and specialized.
Kelly Says
Heresiologists had one of the strangest jobs in academia—they had to understand heterodox beliefs so thoroughly they could refute them, essentially becoming experts in the very ideas they were supposed to condemn.
