This week, I talk about St Irenaeus of Lyon and his work Against the Heresies -- you can't leave the fertile second century without him! And you can't discuss him without Gnostics. Furthermore, you can't really do the history of ancient Christianity without Gnosticism, either. From these two and the differences between them, I launch into a discussion of the repercussions as far as mysticism is concerned.
