S4 E3: Irenaeus - Against All the Heresies (AD185)
Episode description
Welcome to Season 4 of Down Under Theology, a podcast equipping and encouraging Australian Christians to get down and under the theology impacting the life and mission of the church.
In season 4, we are sinking our teeth into Church History! We'll look at key moments in the history of the church and discover their significance for the life and mission of the church today.
In the third episode of season 4, we kick off a short mini-series looking at the factors that helped to stabilize the church as it started to grow - church government, creeds, and the canon. This week, we hear the story of Irenaeus and his work "Against All the Heresies" and discuss how church government developed and what impact that had on the church going forward.
