Introduction -- Heresies -- The one God -- Knowing the one God as Father, Son and Holy Spirit -- The divine plan of salvation -- From Adam to Christ -- From Christ to the kingdom -- Conclusion.
Summary: Irenaeus of Lyons (c. 130-200) has been called 'the first great Catholic theologian'.

Readers will find it comprehensive, informative, lucid, and elegantly written. It is especially welcomed by those able to read only English, for it is the first general book
