Description

Explore the complex writing of one of the most important early Christian figures in The Rhetoric of Faith. Published by The Catholic University of America Press, this academic study by Scott Moringiello examines how Irenaeus built his major work, Adversus Haereses. Instead of viewing the text as a simple collection of rebuttals, this book argues that the very structure of the Adversus Haereses serves as its primary argument. By performing a close reading of the text and comparing it to Greco-Roman rhetorical traditions, Moringiello shows how Irenaeus organized his writing around the articles of the faith of the Church. This work provides necessary context for understanding second-century Christianity. It helps readers see how classical rhetorical tropes were used to shape early Christian thought and defense. This is an essential resource for scholars of church history, theology, and ancient rhetoric who want to understand the foundational methods used to establish Christian doctrine.
