Origen and Greek Patristic Theology is a book written by William Fairweather, which explores the life, teachings, and legacy of Origen, one of the most influential figures in early Christian theology. The book provides a comprehensive overview of Origen's theology, which was heavily influenced by Greek philosophy and sought to reconcile Christian doctrine with the ideas of Plato and other ancient thinkers. The book also examines the broader context of Greek patristic theology, which refers to the theological writings of the early Christian fathers who wrote in Greek, such as Clement of Alexandria, Athanasius, and Basil of Caesarea. The author traces the development of Greek patristic theology from its roots in the New Testament to its flowering in the fourth and fifth centuries CE.Throughout the book, Fairweather provides detailed analyses of Origen's major works, including his commentaries on the Bible, his treatises on theology and philosophy, and his controversial teachings on the nature of the soul and the doctrine of universal salvation. He also explores the reception of Origen's ideas in later Christian theology, including the controversies that arose over his teachings on pre-existence and the nature of Christ.Overall, Origen and Greek Patristic Theology is an essential resource for anyone interested in the history of Christian theology, the intersection of Greek philosophy and Christian doctrine, and the legacy of one of the most important thinkers in the early church.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
