For too long certain scholars have been content to portray Irenaeus
of Lyons as a well-meaning churchman but incompetent theologian. By
offering a careful reading of Irenaeus' polemical and constructive
arguments, God and Christ in Irenaeus contradicts these claims by
showing that he was highly educated, trained in the rhetorical
arts, aware of general philosophical positions, and able to use
both rhetorical and philosophical theories and methods in his
argumentation. Moreover, the theological account laid down by his
pen was original and sophisticated, supremely so for one of the
second century. In contrast to readings that minimize the
metaphysical dimension of Irenaeus' theology, Anthony Briggman
establishes as pillars of Irenaeus' polemical argumentation and
constructive theology his conception of the divine being as
infinite and simple, the reciprocal immanence of the Word-Son and
God the Father, divine generation, the union of the divine Word-Son
and human nature in the person of Christ, and the revelatory
activity of the infinite and incomprehensible Word-Son, amongst
other features of his theology. Briggman offers a fundamentally new
understanding of Irenaeus and his thought.
