I'm looking for a complete list of heresies. . .

. . . . along with a brief description of each.

Thanks in advance.

You do realize that this is like asking for a brief list of the maladies that can befall the human body, right? Even a list of the named ones would be pretty long.

How about some one making a shortlist that can be looked up on Wikopedia and New Advent etc. by googling? More managable.

A small start:
Gnostic
Arianism
Nestorianism
Albigensian
Manichean

 

[Miles_Mariae]

Rationalism
Protestantism
Modernism (synthesis of all heresies)

This isn’t a complete list, but it’s a good start for the early heresies:

I meant to ask for a list of heresies that have been addressed by the Church.

Thanks for the link.

I’m particularly interested in the heresy that taught that only good works are required for salvation,

Here’s the link to Denzinger’s enchiridion symbolorum.
It contains all condemned heresies.

I believe that would be Pelegianism or autosoterism.
