Irenaeus

The great theologian and one of the most important figures of the second century. He was born at Smyrna (modern Izmir, Turkey) in c. 130 and died at Lyons in c. 202. St. Polycarp the bishop of Smyrna influenced young Irenaeus strongly, and he said " Polycarp's teachings are not on the paper but in my heart ". The emperor Marcus Aurelius' persecutions forced Irenaeus to leave Asia Minor, and he went to Lyons. As he was on his way back from a mission to Rome, he succeeded St. Pothinius as Bishop of Lyons. His principal work is about the false teachings of Gnostics.
