In this episode, Gerald Hiestand explores and explains his PhD research on the church father, Irenaeus of Lyons. What implications do Irenaeus' unique cosmology and origin narrative for the Devil have for the doctrines of sin, salvation, and creation? Was the occasion for Satan's fall pride (as in the traditional narrative popularized by Origen and Augustine) or envy against humanity? What is the biblical support for this narrative?
