Irenaeus (130–202)

See biography, media, quotes. Irenaeus (Greek: Εἰρηναῖος), was bishop of Lugdunum in Gaul, which is now Lyon, France. His writings were formative in the early development of Christian theology, and he is recognized as a saint by both the Eastern Orthodox Church and the Catholic Church; both consider him a Father of the Church. He was a notable early Christian apologist.
