Originally published in German in 1938, this highly acclaimed volume presents more than one thousand selections from the various extant writings of Origen, the great Alexandrian theologian. Robert J. Daly has retranslated the majority of these texts from the original Greek and Latin, added the scriptural references in the translated texts and an index, and included updated bibliographical information.

"This collection has been extremely well translated into English by Fr. Daly and to him a great debt of gratitude is due for having made available the thoughts of one of the greatest of ancient theologians as seen through the eyes of an almost equally prolific successor in the same central Christian enterprise."―Heythrop Journal

Robert J. Daly, S.J., is professor and director of graduate studies in the theology department of Boston College. He is the author, editor, or translator of numerous works including, Origen: Treatise on the Passover and Dialogue with Heraclides and His Fellow Bishops on the Father, the Son, and the Soul, Heinrich Fries's Fundamental Theology, and The Eucharist in the West: History and Theology.

"For the soul of the sinner is in the flesh..."

"For the soul of the sinner is in the flesh..."
I briefly came across Origen as I was reading Plotinus' Enneads and I was intrigued. So, I decided to pick up this anthology to see where it leads me on my journey. The book came much faster than expected and in great condition.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Origen + Balthasar = Masterpiece
    Reviewed in the United States on November 8, 2008
    Verified Purchase
    This book really takes you deep in to Origen's contemplative genius in a superbly organized manner. Balthasar's introductions are very helpful and Origen's wisdom shines forth brilliantly. I personally think this book provides a better introduction to Origen's thought than 'First Principles', mainly because it contains many selections from Origen's biblical commentaries which reflect his thought more fully that his speculative philosophy. This book is certainly a great resource for anyone interested in patristic theology, early Christian mysticism, and early interpretations of scripture. In my own experience, I would also add that this book will help kindle the fire of the Holy Spirit in your own heart if you are open to the Word. Blessings

    Origen was a genius.
    It would be nicer if this book is without Catholic commentaries before each chapter which can be misleading

    Origen and the early church, being close to the 12 Apostles, had the purest form of the Word. This is an entire different level of where the church is today spiritually. Highly recommend!
