Write an essay explaining the similarities and differences between St. Irenaeus’s exposition of the Christian faith in his Demonstration of the Apostolic Preaching and St. Athanasius’s On the Incarnation of the Word. You may discuss the differences in focus, mode of exposition, opinions on disputed matters of the time, heresies specifically targeted, etc., as well as the strong continuities between the two, citing relevant excerpts where necessary to support your claims.
