Know the Heretics is a Christian video series produced by Zondervan1, aimed at educating viewers about the history of Christian heresies and their impact on contemporary Christian beliefs. The series is presented by Dr. Justin Holcomb, an Episcopal priest, theologian, and author, who has extensively researched on the history of Christian heresies.

In this series, Dr. Holcomb discusses some of the most significant and influential heresies that have arisen throughout the history of Christianity. Through an examination of the beliefs and teachings of key heretics and their followers, viewers gain a deeper understanding of the development of Christian doctrine and the theological debates that have shaped the faith.

The series is presented in a clear and accessible manner, with each episode focusing on a particular heretic or heresy. Dr. Holcomb begins by presenting key facts about the heretic and his or her teachings, including key texts and beliefs. He then goes on to discuss the implications of these teachings and how they have impacted the conduct and theology of the contemporary Christian church.

The series also includes interviews with scholars and theologians who provide additional insights into the historical context and significance of the various heresies discussed in the show. In addition to examining the teachings of the heretics themselves, Dr. Holcomb and his guests also discuss the responses of Christian orthodoxy to the spread of heresies and the theological debates that arose as a result.

One of the most interesting aspects of the series is the way in which it highlights the relevance of historical heresies to contemporary Christian belief and practice.
