| Summary: | A broad reading of the theological and exegetical works of Didymus the Blind suggests he is best understood not in terms of older 'Alexandrian'/'Antiochene' paradigms but as a proponent of 'virtue-Origenism'. An independent teacher, based in Alexandria throughout the second half of the fourth century, Didymus appealed to many within the broadly Origenist currents of Egyptian asceticism, including Jerome, Rufinus, and Evagrius. |
