St. IRENAEUS

Christian Saint

Theologian and Bishop of Lugdunum

Yes, there really was a place called that. We didn’t make it up. It’s now more or less known as Lyons and can be found in the country formerly known as Gaul.

Geography aside, this Saint was the author of the scintillating work ‘Lover of Peace’, and the best-seller for knocking Gnosticism: ‘Against Heresies.’
