This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1881 Excerpt: ...that He passed through every age of man, sanctifying every age; and he asserts as a tradition that He remained upon earth till He was fifty years of age. This mistake of Irenaeus shows the uncertainty of oral Tradition, unless guaranteed by Holy Scripture, or by some received usage of the Church. It reminds us that we have reason to be thankful that the facts and doctrines of Christianity were not left to be handed down from mouth to mouth, but have been recorded in the pages of Holy Writ by the hand of the Holy Spirit of God. In chapter 46 are somewise remarks on the duty of expounding Parables and Prophecies according to "the proportion of faith," and not according to arbitrary preconceived notions.

In chapter 56 he contrasts the immorality of the Gnostics with the moral virtues taught by the Gospel, especially in the Sermon on the Mount, and practised in the lives of faithful Christians; and he shows that our Lord's moral and spiritual teaching was confirmed by His Miracles of might and mercy, such as no CHRIST'S MIRACLES--THE APOSTLES AND 223 EVANGELISTS. Teacher of heresy has ever been able to work. Christ not only wrought miracles, but enabled His Apostles to work them; and some miracles (I renaeus says) were still performed by the power of Christ in the Church, and in the Church alone (c. 67).
