Initial Thread Prompt: Answer the following questions in your initial thread. Provide a brief sentence or two for each item, and number them for clarity. Complete your thread by offering your personal response to the material, especially Question 4.
Your reading suggests that the Son becoming incarnated (genuinely becoming human) was crucial to Gods plan. But God has been active in the world all along. Explain the Sons appearance/interaction with either Jacob or Moses.
Gnostics fantastically taught that the ascension of the Son was really about the pure spirit escaping the evil world of matter. What does Irenaeus envision being accomplished in the ascension (Section 83)?
Irenaeus elsewhere claims the Son and the Holy Spirit are the two hands of God (contra the Gnostics who claimed the true God would not touch the world). How does Irenaeus describe theological error occurring in Section 100?
Reflecting upon Chapter 4 of Engaging Theology, how does the biography of Irenaeus or the explanation of Gnosticism help you better grasp Irenaeus?
