Pre-order my novel, The Long Road to Holy Island

St. Irenaeus is one of the earliest Church Fathers and his writings have been immensely important for the Christian tradition. So, in this video, we're exploring how he approached a central question: how should we read Scripture? As we'll see, aspects of what he says will appeal to Protestants, while other aspects will appeal to Catholics. Rather than putting him on one side or the other, I want to take a holistic look at his approach to Scripture and see what all of us can learn from it.
