A biographical and theological study presents the life and writings of Irenaeus and draws out his testimony about early Church doctrine, discipline, and historical facts. Chapters treat his views on the Trinity, the origin and nature of evil, spirits, divine dispensations, scripture and canon, tradition, creed, free will and election, baptism, the Eucharist, justification, liturgical practices, typology, the intermediate state, and Marian references. The work concludes with a systematic account of Gnostic teachers and their tenets and offers reflections on Gnosticism's beliefs and its claims of redemption.
