| Summary: | Among the exegetical norms of the "priest" who inspired a great deal of the work of Irenaeus (adv: haer: IV), is found the following: Whenever the Scripture makes reference to actions apparently immoral, without condemning them, it is not for us to condemn them. We must try to discover, as far as possible, the Dispensation to which they obey. The norm is applied as in paradigm to the union of Lot to his daughters, and to the conversion of his wife into a statue of salt. The "priest" explains the Dispensation of both facts. The union of Lot with the daughters prefigures ('secundum Spiritum') the union of the Word glorified in his humanity with the nature common to the two Testaments, the Old or Jewish and the New or Christian. The conversion of the woman into a statue of salt anticipates, by the cicumstances of tradition which surround it, the fruitfulness of the Church, mother of martyrs. |
