Against "Irenaean" Theodicy: A Refutation of John Hick's Use of Irenaeus

This book serves to correct the now accepted understanding of Irenaeus s theodicy. This assumption of Hick s theodicy as legitimately Irenaean remains due the gulf between Irenaean scholarship and discussion of the problem of evil. The present work offers a bridge between the two to allow for the continued discussion of both theologian s distinct views.
