Irenaeus came from Asia Minor via Rome to become bishop of Lyons, clarify Christian doctrines and fight the Gnostics with a major, five-volume work. He was a living part of his contemporary culture and his approach filled early Christian thought with new life. The writings of Irenaeus exist as a whole only in Latin and Armenian. This study offers translations of significant parts of his work, critically based on a complete reconstruction of the original Greek in the French series "Souorces Chretiennes" . It should be of use to students of the early church, both as an introduction to Irenaeus' thought, and as a collection of sources OP - 214 CN - BR1720.I7 G73 1997eb SN - 9780203136171 SN - 0203136179 SN - 9780415118378 SN - 0415118379 SN - 9780415118385 SN - 0415118387 SN - 1280651873 SN - 9781280651878 SN - 9786610651870 SN - 6610651876 KW - Irenaeus, : Saint, Bishop of Lyon.
