Irenaeus Against Heresies V2

By Irenaeus of Lyons and William Wigan Harvey

Book Overview

Irenaeus Against Heresies V2 is a book written by Irenaeus, a prominent Christian theologian of the 2nd century. This book is a continuation of his previous work, Against Heresies V1, and is a comprehensive critique of various heretical teachings that were prevalent at the time. In this book, Irenaeus provides a detailed analysis and refutation of Gnosticism, a heretical movement that claimed to possess secret knowledge of the divine. He also addresses other heresies such as Marcionism, Montanism, and Valentinianism, among others. Irenaeus argues that these heresies are not only false but also dangerous to the Christian faith. He defends the orthodox teachings of the Church and presents a clear and coherent view of Christian doctrine. The book is divided into five books, each addressing a different aspect of the heresies. Irenaeus uses scripture, logic, and reason to counter the heretical teachings and to establish the truth of the Christian faith. Overall, Irenaeus Against Heresies V2 is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of Christianity, the development of Christian doctrine, and the early Church's struggles against heretical teachings.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.
