Irenaeus Of Lyons
$13.99
Faithful Defender: How Irenaeus Navigated a Pagan World
Journey back to the second century with Steven O. Presley’s illuminating biography of Irenaeus of Lyons, one of Christianity’s most influential early theologians. Unlike later Christian leaders, Irenaeus never experienced the benefits of Christendom but instead forged his faith within a pagan Roman Empire surrounded by competing religious and philosophical systems.
Discover how Irenaeus skillfully defended orthodox Christianity against Gnostic heresies while developing a robust theological system centered on the rule of faith. This accessible biography explores his vision of pastoral ministry, his understanding of the spiritual life, and his view of Christian citizenship within a hostile culture.
Presley vividly portrays Irenaeus as the exemplary “spiritual disciple” who could discern truth from error while living an apologetic life of fortitude, holiness, and persuasive witness. In an age when Christians increasingly find themselves on the margins of Western culture, Irenaeus’s example offers timely wisdom for faithfully engaging our post-Christian world with theological clarity and spiritual conviction.
