Critical and useful study of Origen's thought.
27 May 1998
Format:Hardcover
Intense study of Origen's thought, with probing chapters on how he viewed the beginning and the end, education, spiritual growth, the devil, the Fall, all of which is documented from primary sources. The first book in English to consider the whole range of Origen's thought through the concept of spiritual transformation. Though well documented and indexed, the scholarly depth does not affect the style, which is quite smooth and can be read by someone without knowledge of the field. Would be useful to those interested in ancient Christian thought, the Bible, Christian philosophy and, especially, spiritual transformation.

Great Methodology
27 Sep 2009
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
Great methodology. The author examines Origen's thought through the lens of how Christianity creates spiritual transformation - Origen's own criteria for "true religion". The author also relies on Origen's more mature works such as his homilies on Jeremiah, Joshua and Contra Celsus.
A great resource, the book also naturally challenges and inspires the reader on account of the subject matter.
