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