Series: Mapping the Tradition

Origen of Alexandria is the most influential thinker and writer of the Christian church after John the Evangelist and Paul the Apostle. This book charts his momentous impact on the structures, mindset, and doctrines of Christianity, from the third century when he wrote to the twenty-first century when his work has been enthusiastically revisited. It has been a long and enduring influence that has seen his star rise and wane many times over past centuries, but at each critical juncture of Christian reflection over the ages, he has been rediscovered and invariably offered important insights to contemporary issues.

Reviews for Origen of Alexandria: Master Theologian of the Early Church

Fr John McGuckin presents us with a very accessible introduction to Origen’s life and works and a comprehensive survey of his legacy which demonstrates that, despite his ancient condemnations and later misrepresentations, Origen indeed was, remained, and still is, in the words of St Gregory the Theologian, ‘the sharpening stone of us all’. -- Fr John Behr, University of Aberdeen
