Publisher's Synopsis
One of the most well-known theologians and intellectuals of the early Christian Church, Origen is the author of "The Writings of Origen," a collection of his writings. Origen is renowned for his intellectual and theological contributions to Christian philosophy and lived in Alexandria, Egypt, in the third century AD. Many of Origen's most well-known writings are included in the collection, including "De Principiis," a work on theology and the character of God, and "Contra Celsum," a defense of Christianity against the charges made by the pagan philosopher Celsus. The writings of Origen had a significant impact on the development of early Christian theology and were extensively discussed and examined by academics in the decades that followed. His contributions to Christian philosophy and theology are still studied and valued by scholars today, despite the fact that some of his ideas were contentious and even denounced as heretical by some later Church officials.
