The Idea of Revelation in the Early Church (Part 2)
How did the early church view God's revelation? This article examines what Irenaeus wrote on this topic, mainly in his work Against Heresies. It is presented in this article under the following headings: the need for revelation, the divine initiative in the imparting of revelation, the sources and nature of our knowledge of God, the repository of true knowledge of God, the progressiveness of revelation, and the end of revelation.
