Notes to Chapter 16 249
framing of this trinitarian relationship and the interaction of the Father and the Son is only a consequence
of his first premise.
- The dual use of divine titles is found in Psalm 82:1, “God stood in the congregation of the gods, He
judges among the gods.” But with Psalm 82:1, the pronoun “he” refers to the Father, while “God” refers to the
Son, who has gathered the “gods,” that is the faithful, to himself. - Hae r. III.6.3.
- Philippe Bacq, De l’ancienne à la nouvelle alliance selon S. Irénée: Unite du Livre IV de l’Adversus haere-
ses (Paris: Éditions Lethielleux, 1978), 38 n.2. - Hae r. IV. praef.4. In book IV, Irenaeus reveals a further qualification to this method. He emphasizes the
words of the Lord as a witness to the identity of the true God. But, Irenaeus claims in Hae r. IV.2.3, the words of
Moses are the words of Christ and cites John 5:46-47. Commenting upon Hae r. IV.2.1-2, Antonio Orbe suggests
that Irenaeus is dealing with a concept of inspiration. Bacq, however, is right to correct Orbe on this point by
noting that Irenaeus’s concern is with “identify” in the saying of Moses and the prophets. Bacq, De l’ancienne, 52. - Cf. Hae r. IV.38.4.
