Is there a study guide to reading St. Irenaeus' Against Heresies?

[JDGaney]

So, I’m reading AH right now, and I’m at the point where he is responding to the absurdities of the Gnostics, and I’m feeling super confused. My brother is very in depth when it comes to biology, and my dad holds a PhD from MIT in chemistry (he’s the only reason I passed the subject in high school). When I read their materials they have written, I have the same reaction, but I know they must have had many people help them understand the subject in order for them to write their materials. The same must be true in regards to philosophy and theology. Is there any type of study guide or assistance to St. Irenaeus? Especially online?

Thanks.

I know that Scott Hahn has used “Against Heresies” to support some of the things he has written, but I have never seen an outright study of Against Heresies.

After doing some digging, it would appear that a Parish (blessed-sacrament.org/) out of Seattle, Washington did a study on it. Here is the link to one of there handouts.

Maybe you could reach out to them, and see if they have more?
