Summary/Abstract: St. Irenaeus, Bishop of Lyons, defender of true Christian doctrine, for centuries consideredan authority on the truths of faith, was recently proclaimed by Pope Francis the DoctorUnitatis of the universal Church. This study responds to the Pope’s exhortation to knowthe richness of the saint doctor’s theology. For this purpose, I propose an Irenaean readingof the letter Placuit Deo of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith on certain aspectsof Christian salvation. Its main aspects have been thoroughly developed thanks tothe studies on this Father of the Church so far, thus revealing the topicality and theologicalsignificance of his works for showing the modern world the truth about Christ’s salvation.
