	Origen
		Origen was a Christian scholar and theologian and one of the most distinguished of the Fathers of the early Christian Church.
		Origen, however, was taken under the protection of a woman of wealth and standing; but as her household already included a heretic named Paul, the strictly orthodox Origen seems to have remained with her only a short time.
		Origen's chief aim was the practical exposition of the text, verse by verse; and while in such barren books as Leviticus and Numbers he sought to allegorize, the wealth of material in the prophets seldom rendered it necessary for him to seek meanings deeper than the surface afforded.

		Origen's controversial views on the pre-existence of souls, the ultimate salvation of all beings and other topics eventually caused him to be labeled a heretic, yet his teachings were highly influential and today he is regarded as one of the most important early church fathers.
		Eusebius explains, "As Origen's renown spread everywhere and even came to her ears, she thought it very important to be favored with the sight of this man and to sample his understanding of divine matters which everyone was admiring." Origen stayed in Antioch for a short while, then returned again to Alexandria.
		Origen found three levels of meaning in the Scriptures: the common or historical sense, for the simple-minded or beginning reader, the "Soul" of the Scriptures which edifies those who perceive it, and a meaning hidden under those passages that are repugnant to the intellect by means of allegory.

	Origen of Alexandria [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
		Origen of Alexandria is considered one of the greatest of all Christian theologians.

		Origen did not, like many of his contemporaries, degrade the body to the status of an unwanted encrustation imprisoning the soul; for him, the body is a necessary principle of limitation, providing each soul with a unique identity.

	Origen - InformationBlast
		What got Origen into trouble with the Church, long after his death, was his belief in reincarnation and the pre-existence of souls.
		Origen wrote that "The soul has neither beginning nor end… [They] come into this world strengthened by the victories or weakened by the defeats of their previous lives" (De Principiis).
		This belief was not unique to Origen; many early Christians believed that the soul exists prior to the conception and birth of a person.

	Origen of Alexandria and Apokatastasis
		Origen did not believe that the fall was an intra-cosmic event; rather, he held that the cosmos is the result of this primordial fall.
		It is possible, however not conclusive, that Origen conceived of the Church as the concrete and exemplary restoration of this originary unity of souls.
		The fact that Origen did not place the burden of universal salvation solely on the shoulders of God, but found a crucial place for human freedom and informed endeavor, shows that he was attuned to the existential nuances of human-divine co-operation.

		Origen's "inner man" is composed of two parts, a masculine spirit and a feminine soul, which can, between the two of them, "increase and multiply", begetting "good inclinations and understandings or useful thoughts" (Homilies 68).
		Origen's implicit emphasis on apatheia as the basis of the ability to pray truly is picked up and made explicit by Evagrius Ponticus, as we shall see in the fourth chapter.
		Another interesting element of Origen's description of the soul's pursuit of perfection and salvation is his emphasis on self-knowledge; he says that the Word of God enjoins His Bride, the purified soul, to seek an understanding of herself, that He proclaims this self-knowledge to be "the height of spiritual health and blessedness" (Song 130).

	Evolution of the Medieval Book
		Writing in the third century, Origen of Alexandria was one of the early commentators on Scripture.
		Although he was highly respected during his lifetime, his name came under a cloud centuries after his death when Church councils refined the boundaries of orthodoxy and decided that several of his views were heretical.
		While the Church condemned these views, later clerics preserved much of Origen’s legacy as sound and inspired teaching—particularly his commentaries on Scripture, as indicated by this stately manuscript, copied in Italy ca.
