Heresy
Orthodoxy often learned to define itself by naming what it was not
Heresy is teaching judged by the Church to depart from the apostolic faith. From Irenaeus onward, the cataloguing of heresies, seen in his Against Heresies and later in Epiphanius' Panarion, helped the Church define orthodoxy by contrast, clarifying true doctrine through the rejection of error. The concept thus shaped the boundaries of Christian belief, marking which teachings the community received as faithful and which it set aside.
