This is an introduction to the problems of reading Irenaeus of
Lyons (c. 130-200), known as 'the first great Catholic theologian'.
This book is a fully revised and extended edition of Denis Minns'
standard introduction to the theology of Irenaeus. Readers will
find it comprehensive, informative, lucid, and elegantly written.
The book is chiefly aimed at those approaching him for the first
time, but it is based on the most recent scholarship and provides
much help for those who wish to work on him as a more advanced
level. Irenaeus of Lyons (c. 130-200) has been called 'the first
great Catholic theologian'. As this book explains, the description
is accurate, since the Christianity represented by Irenaeus is
recognizably that of the Catholic Church, though unfamiliar in its
primitiveness. The thought of Irenaeus represents an important
stage in the development of Christian orthodoxy. Denis Minns
explains why Irenaeus, the 2nd-century theologian, deserves his
place in history. He explains why, though unfamiliar in its
primitiveness, the Christianity represented by Irenaeus is
recognizably that of the Catholic Church. Minns takes account of
the recent scholarly work on Irenaeus and his period which has been
done in recent years, but this book is principally an introduction
to the problems of reading him. It is aimed mainly at those
approaching Irenaeus for the first time.
