Routledge Les fins dernieres selon Origene - Variorum Studies

Explore the complex eschatology of Origen, the influential 3rd century theologian and philosopher of Alexandria, in this academic volume from the Variorum Collected Studies series. This book addresses the doctrines concerning the resurrection of man and the end of days, topics that have sparked significant debate from Antiquity through modern Patristic scholarship. Professor Crouzel provides a fresh perspective on these controversial subjects. He argues that Origen's actual thought has been subject to misunderstanding and distortion since the era of Methodius of Olympia. By conducting a renewed examination of Origen's surviving writings, this work offers a different assessment of his theological legacy. This text serves as a vital resource for students and scholars studying ancient history, theology, and the development of early Christian thought.
