Book of Irenaeus

Book of Irenaeus is the most important text of the Susannite Church. Many people believed that it was written by Irenaeus The Journeyman himself, but in fact it was mostly written by the first Divine Ruler, Alfred Kirsten. The only part written by Irenaeus is the first chapter. That chapter is the description of his vision and his interpretation of the vision.
Currently, every family has a copy of the book and it's the most guarded treasure in every house. It is customary to give a copy of the book to a newly wed couple as a wedding gift.
I saw a world where the empire isn't using us for its gain. Where The Fallen isn't worshipped. I saw a world of equality. I am certain that togheter we can achieve it.
— Beginning of the Book of Irenaeus

Purpose

Irenaeus wrote the first chapter of the book because he was afraid that after his death people would forget what he told them. Writing it was meant to ensure that his teachings wouldn't be forgotten and changed.
After Irenaeus was taken by Lady Susanne to the Forge of Worlds one of his closest supporters, Alfred Kirsten, decided to write down the story of Irenaeus.

Alleged Secret Chapter

Religious fanatics claim that Irenaeus wrote one more chapter which said that equal are only the believers of Susanne and not everyone. According to them, that chapter didn't fit the Church's idealogy and was hidden. The fanatics use that alleged chapter to justify attacking the non-believers.
The Susannite Church say that Irenaeus had never wrote such a thing and the fanatics are wrong. However, in the spirit of equality, they aren't punished for that. The Church tries to reason with them.
