Fragments From The Lost Writings Of Irenaeus (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781419120602)

Fragments from the Lost Writings of Irenaeus is a collection of ancient Christian texts that were written by the early Church Father Irenaeus but have been lost over time. Irenaeus was a prominent figure in the early Christian Church and was known for his theological writings and defense of orthodox Christian beliefs. This book includes fragments of Irenaeus' lost works, which provide insights into his teachings on various theological topics, including the nature of God, the Trinity, and the role of the Church in salvation. The fragments are presented in their original Greek or Latin, along with English translations and commentary by the editor. This book is a valuable resource for scholars of early Christianity and anyone interested in the history of Christian theology.The(7) will and the energy of God is the effective and foreseeing cause of every time and place and age, and of every nature. The will is the reason ( logos ) of the intellectual soul, which [reason] is within us, inasmuch as it is the faculty belonging to it which is endowed with freedom of action. The will is the mind desiring [some object], and an appetite possessed of intelligence, yearning after that thing which is desired.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
