What if the foundations of mainstream Christianity were forged in fierce intellectual battles-where Gnostic teachings threatened to reshape the faith’s core?
This anthology spotlights Irenaeus’s Against Heresies, Tertullian’s Adversus Valentinianos and Adversus Marcionem, and Hippolytus’s Refutation of All Heresies.

Included Texts:
Irenaeus’s Against Heresies (Selections)
Tertullian’s Adversus Valentinianos & Adversus Marcionem (Excerpts)
Hippolytus’s Refutation of All Heresies (Highlights)
Epistle of the Apostles (where relevant)
