| Summary: | Irenaeus was a leader of the Christian community at Lyons in the last quarter of the second century. Motivated by a deep pastoral concern, he set himself to refute what he considered to be distortions of the authentic Gospel, and, in the process, he became one of the earliest Christian writers to attempt a synthesis of the major themes of theology. Largely forgotten during much of the subsequent theological tradition, he has come to be seen as a crucial figure in the early history of the development of Christian doctrine, and has much to say that modern readers will find fresh and stimulating. |
