The Legacy of St. Irenaeus: Father of Christian Theology

St. Irenaeus of Lyons, known as the Father of Christian Theology, played a pivotal role in early Christianity. He was mentored by St. Polycarp, who inspired him to become a missionary. Irenaeus famously documented the martyrdom of Polycarp, emphasizing the importance of apostolic succession in preserving the true faith. He utilized sarcasm to challenge the Gnostic myths proliferating during his time, seeking to clarify Christian doctrine and safeguard the teachings of the apostles. His contributions are essential to understanding early church history and theology.
