Origen
was the greatest and most influential Christian theologian before
Augustine, the founder of Biblical study as a serious discipline in the
Christian tradition, and a figure with immense influence on the
development of Christian spirituality. This book presents, for the first
time in English, a comprehensive and accessible insight into Origen's
life and writings. It analyzes the principal influences that formed
Origen as a Christian and as a thinker, his emergence as a mature
theologian at Alexandria, his work in Caesarea and his controversial
legacy. Fresh translations of a representative selection of Origen's
writings, including some never previously available in print, present
the development of Origen's theological thought and argument.
