Seller's Description:
New. The claims about Origen are clear: Origen is the source of the major heresies of the Christian tradition (see Fr. Thomas Hopko's introduction to The Holy Fire); or, Origen is one of the decisive and formative figures in the Christian tradition, worthy of being anthologized in this book (obviously the opinion of Hans Urs von Balthasar, who put it together in the late 1930's). Indisputably, either way, Origen is hugely important. This anthology presents freshly translated texts from Greek and Latin originals of passages that speak to issues of: the soul, the Word, the Spirit, God, the old covenant and the new covenant, the sacraments, the inner senses, and other questions that infinitely derive from them. Who is Origen? What does he really teach? Here is a book to refine your judgments. 285 pp.
