The Biblical Theology of Saint Irenaeus

More about the book

The book explores the early Church's evolution, questioning whether it strayed from New Testament teachings towards Hellenic thought and institutionalism. It highlights St. Irenaeus's doctrines of Creation and Revelation, emphasizing a Hebraic understanding of God as both transcendent and active. The author argues that Irenaeus's concepts of Recapitulation reflect Pauline theology and the essence of Atonement. By focusing on the Church's role and episcopacy, Irenaeus is portrayed as a guardian of genuine redemption through personal faith in Christ.
