Irenaeus Against Heresies V4 (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781169254091)

Irenaeus Against Heresies V4 is a religious text written by Irenaeus, a prominent Christian theologian of the 2nd century. The book is a continuation of his previous works and focuses on refuting various heresies that had arisen in the early Christian Church. In this volume, Irenaeus specifically addresses the teachings of the Gnostics, a group that believed in secret knowledge and claimed to have a deeper understanding of the Christian faith. Irenaeus argues against their beliefs and defends the orthodox Christian doctrine, emphasizing the importance of the authority of scripture and the unity of the Church. The book is divided into chapters, each addressing a specific aspect of Gnostic teachings and refuting it with biblical evidence and logical arguments. Irenaeus Against Heresies V4 is a valuable resource for scholars and theologians studying the history of the early Christian Church and its theological development.3. And teaching this very thing, He said to the Jews: ""Your father Abraham rejoiced that he should see my day; and he saw it, and was glad""(5) What is intended? ""Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness.""(6) In the first place, [he believed] that He was the maker of heaven and earth, the only God; and in the next place, that He would make his seed as the stars of heaven. This is what is meant by Paul, [when he says, ] ""as lights in the world.""(7) Righteously, therefore, having left his earthly kindred, he followed the Word of God, walking as a pilgrim with the Word, that he might [afterwards] have his abode with the Word.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
