What Are You Doing in As?

AS is imminently pastoral. He recognizes that the Gnostic preachers who you know, they have this gnosis and gnosis means secret knowledge. So be aware of those spiritual authorities who create dependency upon themselves. And so he's a great model for what Thomas will do later in presenting the arguments of his opponents and then responding to them in kind. I was wondering whether we should see that part of what's being signaled perhaps by Irenaeus being declared a doctor is that we should kind of look back at what he says about contemporary Gnosticism.
