| Summary: | This significant new monograph represents the first major study on Origen to appear in English in almost three decades, and reflects the author’s two decades of published research on Origen and third-century Christianity. The volume is published in the Christian Theology in Context series, that boasts to be ‘unique in setting theological thought in its full social, historical, and political context’, and Heine admirably achieves this ambitious aim. The work can be divided into two sections, the first of which presents Origen in Alexandria as a methodological innovator, and the second of which portrays Origen in Caesarea as a churchman and respected scholar. |
