Summary

Origen (c. 185-c. 253) was the 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 volume presents a comprehensive and accessible insight into Origen's life and writings, written and compiled by Joseph W. Trigg, a leading Origen authority. An introduction analyzes the principal influences that formed him 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 by Joseph Trigg, of a representative selection of Origen's writings, including some never previously available in print, show how Origen provided a lasting framework for Christian theology by finding through study of the Bible a coherent understanding of God's saving plan. Among the Origen's original works presented on this recording are Commentaries on Psalms, Lamentations and Genesis; and Homilies on Jeremiah, Luke and Samuel.

Thank God Origen arrives on Audible!

This is absolutely great. To have access to listen to perhaps the most influential theologian in Christian history (alongside Augustine) is a true gift to us all.

Origens thorough grasp of the spiritual nature of what he so often calls 'divine scripture' is desperately needed today. He has much to teach us, and it could take a life time to follow his manner of apostolic interpretation of scripture.

This book begins with an illuminating introduction.

The book is performed very well.
