Irenaeus Against Heresies V2 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781162668390)

Irenaeus Against Heresies V2 is a religious text written by Irenaeus, a prominent Christian bishop and theologian in the second century. The book is a continuation of Irenaeus' defense of orthodox Christianity against various heresies that were prevalent at the time. In this volume, Irenaeus focuses on the teachings of the Gnostics, a group of Christians who believed in secret knowledge and claimed to have a higher understanding of the divine than the rest of the Church. Irenaeus argues against their beliefs, showing how they contradict the teachings of the apostles and the scriptures. He also defends the orthodox doctrine of the Trinity and the incarnation, showing how they are essential to the Christian faith. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of Christian theology and the early Church.These arguments may, in like manner, be adapted to meet the case of all those who, in any way, maintain that the world was formed either by angels or by any other one than the true God. For the charges which they bring against the Demiurge, and those things which were made material and temporal, will in truth fall back on the Father; if indeed the(7) very things which were formed in the bosom of the Pleroma began by and by in fact to be dissolved, in accordance with the permission and good-will of the Father.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
