On the Councils and the Church (Against Heresies)
Book •
Irenaeus's 'Against Heresies' is a seminal second-century theological treatise written to refute Gnostic teachings and defend apostolic Christianity.
The work systematically presents the continuity of Christian doctrine from the apostles, emphasizes the unity of Scripture, and develops typological readings, including contrasts between Eve and Mary.
It played a critical role in shaping early Christian theology, ecclesiology, and the use of typology in biblical interpretation.
Irenaeus argues for the incarnation, resurrection, and the role of Christ in recapitulating human history, providing theological resources against contemporary heterodox movements.
His writings remain central for studies of early Christian thought and the formation of orthodoxy.
