What if the foundations of mainstream Christianity were forged in fierce intellectual battles—where Gnostic teachings threatened to reshape the faith's core?
This anthology spotlights Irenaeus's Against Heresies, Tertullian's Adversus Valentinianos and Adversus Marcionem, and Hippolytus's Refutation of All Heresies. Adapted for a modern audience, these writings illuminate how early bishops and theologians safeguarded orthodoxy by systematically dismantling Gnostic beliefs on cosmic archons, alternate creation myths, and selective scripture editing.
