	Eschatology and final restoration (apokatastasis) - Andreas Andreopoulos, PhD - Theandros - Online Journal of Orthodox ...
		The theory of apokatastasis has unofficially cost Gregory of Nyssa for many centuries recognition as a theologian of the rank of Basil, Gregory of Nazianzos and John Chrysostom, and was one of the reasons Origen was anathematized.
		Second, some issues examined in his writings can be connected with the apokatastasis, and this association has been drawn by certain scholars, but Maximos refuses to discuss them in detail, in the apophatic expression he borrowed from pseudo-Dionysios, "honoring the truth by silence".
		As we mentioned previously, the third kind of restoration known by the Church, according to Maximos, the one he connected with Gregory of Nyssa, has to do with the restoration of the powers of the soul before the fall, and it is common to all people, just like the resurrection of the body.

	Origen of Alexandria and Apokatastasis
		The earliest philosophical occurrence of the term apokatastasis is to be found in Empedocles, where it refers to the eternal relation of Love and Strife in the maintenance of the cosmic order.
		The Stoic idea was based upon an astronomical doctrine according to which the return (apokatastasis) of the planets to their proper "celestial signs" initiates the conflagration (ekpurôsis), which is the reduction of the entire cosmos to its primal element (fire), after which follows the rebirth of all existing things.
		When Hellenistic astrologers discussed apokatastasis, it was usually in terms of an intra-cosmic process of planetary recurrence and "counter-recurrence" (antapokatastasis), [9] and did not refer to any supra-cosmic event, as did Gnostic and Christian soteriology.

		The doctrine of the apokatastasis is not, indeed, peculiar to St. Gregory of Nyssa, but is taken from Origen, who seems at times reluctant to decide concerning the question of the eternity of punishment.
		It was through Origen that the Platonist doctrine of the apokatastasis passed to St. Gregory of Nyssa, and simultaneously to St. Jerome, at least during the time that St. Jerome was an Origenist.
		We note, further, that the doctrine of the apokatastasis was held in the East, not only by St. Gregory of Nyssa, but also by St. Gregory of Nazianzus as well; "De seipso", but the latter, though he asks the question, finally decides neither for nor against it, but rather leaves the answer to God.

		In brief, apokatastasis means the reestablishment of both humankind and all creation to their original integrity as intended by God.
		It was Origen who first developed the notion of apokatastasis at some length and maintained the view that all punishment--both temporal and in the spiritual world--serves to instruct rather than to condemn.
		Furthermore, Gregory had designated the resurrection as "nothing other than the restoration (apokatastasis) of all things to their original state;" because of this the resurrection is "external" to the soul in that it is an event to which we are passive.

	Apokatastasis - universalism
		THESE two medieval images illustrate two complimentary theological perspectives of the question of the Apokatastasis — the restoration of all things in Christ: first, the soteriological and eschatological perspective; and second, the daily, psychological/moral perspective.
		A name given in the history of theology to the doctrine which teaches that a time will come when all free creatures will share in the grace of salvation; in a special way, the devils and lost souls.
