Seller's Description:
New. The Gnostic texts found at Nag Hamadi have confirmed just how careful and accurate Irenaeus was in describing the beliefs of the multitude of Gnostic sects that flourished at the end of the second century. In this translation of the first of five books which make up Against the Heresies (the first complete translation of the landmark work in a over a hundred years), we find Irenaeus cataloging a roster of heresies, revealing as pure narcissism our tendency to think ''the problem of pluralism'' a new one.
