In Christian theology, heresy is a belief or opinion that deviates from, or is contrary to, the orthodox or accepted belief. The term heresy is often used more broadly to refer to any belief or doctrine that is considered to be unorthodox or heterodox. In many Christian denominations, heresy is seen as a threat to the faith and is therefore subject to censure or punishment. In other contexts, the term heresy may be used more metaphorically to refer to any belief or opinion that is considered to be unorthodox or heterodox within a particular community or context. For example, in the field of science, a scientific theory that is not widely accepted by the scientific community may be referred to as a heretical theory. Similarly, in the field of literature, a literary work that challenges conventional literary norms or values may be referred to as a heretical work.
