Whereas many works interpret Irenaeus only as he relates to certain gnostic teachings, this book recognizes the broader context of the second century society in which he writes. It shows that Irenaeus is interested, not simply in expounding the original intent of individual texts, but in demonstrating how individual texts fit into the one catholic narrative of salvation. As such, this is vital reading for scholars of the early Church as well as those with interests in patristics and the development of Christian exegesis.
