Irenaeus of Lyon (c. 130–202 CE) was an early Christian bishop and theologian whose Against Heresies is the most important early Christian refutation of Gnosticism, providing extensive documentation of Gnostic beliefs.
Against Heresies is the primary source for early Gnostic beliefs and the foundational anti-Gnostic theological argument; his theological anthropology emphasized the goodness of material creation.
