Irenaeus' Against Heresies Summarized | Church Fathers

In this video, we'll provide a full summary of Irenaeus' books of Against Heresies (alternatively called by its Latin title, Adversus Haereses).

Excerpt:
In AD 178, when Irenæus was appointed by the Christians in Lyons to be their church's bishop (or overseer), he had at least three enormous tasks in front of him.
Many families in his congregation were grieving the losses of nearly fifty martyrs from the previous year.
The Gospel needed to be spread into the region surrounding Lyons, where people were polytheists or atheists, or the Christians needed their local churches to be organized.
There were discussions and disagreements between Eastern and Western Christians regarding how to respond to heretical groups claiming to be Christians, who were seeking to gain converts away from the universal church.
