{"product_id":"irenaeus-of-lyons-eric-osborn-9780521675727","title":"Irenaeus of Lyons","description":"Eric Osborn's book presents a major study of Irenaeus (125-200), bishop of Lyons, who attacked Gnostic theosophy with positive ideas as well as negative critiques. Irenaeus's combination of argument and imagery, logic and aesthetic, was directed to a new document, the Christian bible. Dominated by a Socratic love of truth and a classical love of beauty, he was a founder of Western humanism. Irenaeus is renowned for his aphorisms, optimism, love of the created world, evolutionary view of history, and theology of beauty and humor.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Eric Osborn\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0521675723\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780521675727\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/14\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 328\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.92lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.73d","brand":"Eric Osborn","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43920050356479,"sku":"9780521675727","price":49.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_d495c144-a5fd-4ab1-a3ff-899de773618e.jpg?v=1680813322","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/irenaeus-of-lyons-eric-osborn-9780521675727","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
