Against The Night: The Story of Irenaeus and the Second Century Christians

by R B Banfield

The true story of Irenaeus and the Second Century Christians as they faced trials and battles from those who didn't understand them. Their worst threat comes from those teaching new doctrines, ones not handed down from the Apostles, twisting the Word of God for their own profit. Polycarp, Justin Martyr, and Tatian are just a few famous names who influenced Irenaeus as he grew in his faith to be able to refute the heretics of his day. Drawing upon their actual writings, this book recreates their world in a realistic and dramatic way.
