Description: On First Principles by Origen, G.W. Butterworth Being Koetschaus text of the De Principiis translated into English, together with an introduction and notes by G. W. Butterworth FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Being Koetschaus text of the De Principiis translated into English, together with an introduction and notes by G. W. Butterworth Origens On First Principles was the first attempt to formulate a coherent system of Christian philosophy, and also the best expression of the theologians general opinions. The work is divided into four parts: book one deals with God and creation, book two with creation (rational and irrational natures), providence, and redemption, and book four with the interpretation of Holy Scripture. Origens views are based upon the authority of the Scriptures and Church tradition, and grounded upon the tenets of Neoplatonism. In On First Principles many maxims are given as to the nature of the Trinity, the person of Christ, and mans free will under the hand of Providence, most of which are considered Orthodox teachings. On the other hand, the principles found in this work that engendered controversy and were later condemned by the Fifth Ecumenical Council in 553, are the preexistence and transmigration of souls, and universal salvation at the consummation of the world. This edition, being Koetschaus English text translated from Rufinus definitive Latin volume, contains selected fragments of St. Jeromes rendition and the meager remains of the original Greek texts in order to furnish a more comprehensive view of Origens writings. Also included are in-depth introductions to Origins life and works by the scholar G. W. Butterworth. Author Biography Origen of Alexandria (c. 184 - c. 253), also known as Origen Adamantius, was an early Christian scholar, ascetic, and theologian who was born and spent the first half of his career in Alexandria. He was a prolific writer who wrote roughly 2,000 treatises in multiple branches of theology, including textual criticism, biblical exegesis and hermeneutics, homiletics, and spirituality. He was one of the most influential figures in early Christian theology, apologetics, and asceticism. He has been described as "the greatest genius the early church ever produced".
