This week, we continue to recall the real Patrick and his remarkable mission to Ireland.

History has been very kind to Patrick by remembering him every year on March 17, St. Patrick's Day, and yet at the same time this historical memory has obscured the real man. He was not Irish, did not cast out all of the snakes from Ireland (later medieval legend) and certainly did not drink green beer (a modern way of celebrating St Patrick)! In this two-part episode we recall the real Patrick and his remarkable mission to Ireland through one of his genuine writings, his Confession, written just before his death around 460.

In this episode we look in detail at the lineaments of Irenaeus of Lyons' argument against Gnostic thinkers like Marcion and Valentinus.

On this episode we discuss the up and coming webinar, "Reading Andrew Fuller." First, the webinar will seek to provide the reader with an informed awareness of major aspects of this great theologian’s thinking. Second, Fuller’s God-centred thought and piety will be presented as a model for imitation. After an overview of Fuller’s life and times, this reading course will focus on Fuller’s theology and piety through a variety of texts from Fuller’s hand: sermons, circular letters that he wrote for the Northamptonshire Association, theological tracts, and personal letters. We will meet every Monday and Thursday evening in June and July from 7:00–8:30 pm Eastern Time (via zoom) To register for the webinar click here. ***There are only 15 spots available.   Books mentioned on this episode The Life of Samuel Pearce Andrew Fuller:: Holy Faith, Worthy Gospel, World Mission Being a Pastor Ardent Love for Jesus: English Baptists and the Experience of Revival in the Long Eighteenth Century The Works of Andrew Fuller (Sprinkle edition)

In this episode we look at the second-century Greek theologian Irenaeus of Lyons, sketching what we know of his life and the nature of the major error he was called upon to combat, namely, Gnosticism, which has some remarkable similarities to modern New Age thinking. A second installment next week will look in more detail at the actual lineaments of his argument against Gnostic thinkers like Marcion and Valentinus.     Bede's Podcast is in partnership with H&E Publishing (www.hesedandemet.com) You can follow H&E Publishing on Twitter, Facebook, or Instagram
