Question

what is revelation according to st. Iraneaus?

Answer 1

Such is mentioned in the “Irenaeus Against Heresies” a small quote is:



The three remaining books set forth more directly the true doctrines of revelation, as being in utter antagonism to the views held by the Gnostic teachers. In the course of this argument, many passages of Scripture are quoted and commented on; many interesting statements are made, bearing on the rule of faith; and much important light is shed on the doctrines, held, as well as the practices observed, by the Church of the second century.
