Irenaeus of Lyons
Osborn, Eric (La Trobe University, Victoria)
Eric Osborn's book presents a major study of Irenaeus (125–200), bishop of Lyons, who attacked Gnostic theosophy with positive ideas as well as negative critiques. Irenaeus is today valued for his splendid aphorisms, his optimism, love of the created world, evolutionary view of history, theology of beauty and humour.
