This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1881 edition. Excerpt: ...in churches, or for settling matters of faith. At one such council, his opponent, Beryllus, was not only convinced by his reasoning, but even addressed him a letter of thanks for winning him back from error. Having suffered severely in the Decian per secution, Origen died A. D. 254, at the age of seventy years. Of his works that have survived, the most important are the " De Principiis," which confessedly contain many opinions which he retracted before his death; his book "Against Celsus," a most valuable apologetical work; numerous commentaries and homilies on the Old and New Testaments; and part of the " Hexapla," a critical edition of the Old 'I'estament--giving in six parallel columns as many different texts in Greek and Hebrew--a work which cost him twenty-eight years of labor. The large comparative space which we have given to the works "De Principiis " and "Against Celsus " will enable the reader to get some adequate idea of their contents. WRITINGS OF ORIGEN.

Concerning the soul, it aflirms that it is destined "either to obtain an inheritance of eternal life and blessedness.... or to be delivered over to eternal fire and punishment"; that there is to be a resurrection, when this body, "now sown in corruption, shall rise in.
