Ep. 10 - Irenaeus of Lyons: Putting the Smack Down on Heresy
In the late second century the Church suffered an infestation of heresies — many of them, and they kept changing their claims. Into the fray God sent the great pioneer of anti-heretical literature, Irenaeus of Lyons. The title of his best known work says it all: Against Heresies. Irenaeus's tools range from logic to parody. He put the smack down on some strains of heresy, and they stayed down for centuries.
