'Who Was Irenaeus? His Life, Theology & Battle Against Heresy

Who was Irenaeus of Lyons, and why is he one of the most important Church Fathers?
Irenaeus was a second-century bishop, theologian, and defender of Christian doctrine. He played a major role in shaping early Christian theology and combating Gnosticism, one of the greatest threats to early Christianity. His famous work, Against Heresies, remains one of the most influential writings in Church history.

📖 In this documentary, we explore:
✅ The life and background of Irenaeus of Lyons
✅ His fight against Gnosticism and early Christian heresies
✅ How his book Against Heresies defended apostolic tradition
✅ What Irenaeus taught about Jesus, salvation, and the Church
✅ His impact on Christian theology and biblical interpretation


Who was Irenaeus? In this video, we'll provide an in-depth exploration about the life and work of Irenaeus, who was an early Christian bishop in mid-late 100 AD.

Excerpt:
Irenaeus of Lyon claimed when he was young he listened to polycarp teach in Smyrna of Asia Minor. Polycarp had listened to the Apostle John teach when polycarp himself was young this means that Irenaeus got to hear reliable accounts of Jesus life and teaching from eyewitnesses although the detail of Irenaeus' birth are unknown, it's plausible that Irenaeus was a native of Smyrna.
