I’ve arrived at my writing debut via a life in engineering, painting and sculpting.
Not a usual path for an author, for certain.
Starting at school in Chichester in the south of England, via University at Imperial College, London, UK – where H.G.Wells made his start – I worked through a bunch of jobs mainly in the project management side of the construction industry in England, I finally settled in Southern Ontario, Canada. There, I worked in steel, public housing and bank sectors. Early retirement allowed me to say goodbye to industry. Moved on to Ontario College of Art and Design for honours in Sculpture and Installation. Worked my art practice in a shared stone sculpture studio for over ten years. Now resting my overworked arms to pursue writing.
Generally a life well lived, exposed to all those left weighted brains and right ones too.
Do I sound a bit straight up to you? Maybe. But read what I have to say before you reach any hard onclusion.
This book provides a comprehensive examination of Irenaeus of Lyon, a pivotal figure in the development of early Christian theology, and his profound influence on the formation of orthodox Christianity. Through a detailed analysis of his key writings, particularly Adversus Haereses (Against Heresies), the book explores Irenaeus's theological responses to the heresies of his time, especially Gnosticism, and his pivotal role in defending the unity of Christian doctrine. Key concepts such as the goodness of creation, the role of the Church in preserving apostolic tradition, the nature of Christ, and the relationship between the Old and New Testaments are examined, showing how Irenaeus's contributions laid the foundation for many aspects of Christian orthodoxy. His teachings on salvation as the redemption of both the body and soul, the necessity of the sacraments, and the doctrine of recapitulation, in which Christ restores what was lost through Adam, are explored in depth. The book also assesses Irenaeus's views on biblical interpretation, the formation of the Christian canon.
