Irenaeus Against Heresies V1 is a book written by Irenaeus, a prominent Christian theologian of the 2nd century. The book is a comprehensive refutation of various heresies that were prevalent during his time, such as Gnosticism and Marcionism. In this volume, Irenaeus focuses on the Gnostic heresy and exposes its errors and inconsistencies.The book is divided into five parts, each of which deals with a different aspect of the Gnostic heresy. In the first part, Irenaeus provides a detailed account of the Gnostic system of thought, including their beliefs about the nature of God, the creation of the world, and the salvation of humanity. He then proceeds to show how these beliefs are contrary to the teachings of the apostles and the Scriptures.In the second part, Irenaeus examines the Gnostic interpretation of the Old Testament and shows how it is distorted and inconsistent. He also demonstrates how the Gnostics selectively choose certain texts to support their views while ignoring others that contradict them.In the third part, Irenaeus refutes the Gnostic claim that they possess secret knowledge that is necessary for salvation. He argues that such knowledge is unnecessary and that the true knowledge of God is accessible to all through the Scriptures.In the fourth part, Irenaeus shows how the Gnostic view of Christ is flawed and inconsistent with the teachings of the apostles. He argues that Christ is not a mere spiritual being but a real human being who lived, died, and rose again in the flesh.In the final part, Irenaeus concludes his refutation of the Gnostic heresy by showing how it leads to moral and spiritual corruption. He argues that the Gnostic rejection of the physical world leads to a disregard for moral values and a lack of concern for the well-being of others.Overall, Irenaeus Against Heresies V1 is a comprehensive and detailed refutation of the Gnostic heresy. It is an important work of early Christian theology and provides valuable insights into the beliefs and practices of the early Church.They further maintain that the passion which took place in the case of the twelfth AEon is pointed at by the apostasy of Judas, who was the twelfth apostle, and also by the fact that Christ suffered in the twelfth month. For their opinion is, that He continued to preach for one year only after His baptism. The same thing is also most clearly indicated by the case of the woman who suffered from an issue of blood.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
