| Summary: | This article attempts to address whether or not Origen considers the relationship between the Father and Son to be hierarchical by analysing Origen’s use of auto-X attributes of the Father and Son. Through this analysis, this article will demonstrate that Origen believes the Son to be dependent on the Father for his being and his attributes, a relationship that ranks the Son below the Father. The first section of the article will examine the auto-X attributes of the Father, arguing that Origen’s use of the prefix auto- makes the Son dependent on the Father and, therefore, ranked below him. The second section of the article will analyse the auto-X attributes of the Son. I will follow the work of several scholars who maintain that Origen uses auto-X language of the Son to denote his relationship to creation, not his relationship to the Father. However, I will add to this previous scholarship by providing a more complete analysis of Origen’s use of auto-X language of the Son and by arguing that scholars have not recognized the hierarchical relationship this language indicates. |
