Description:The normal verdict levelled against Origen as an obloquy is that he dissolves History into intellectual abstraction, and that his Eschatology, if allowed at all, is notoriously obscure. Drawing on an impressive range of bibliography, the author considers Origen's Philosophy of History and Eschatology in the widest context of facts, documents and streams of thought: Classical and Late Antiquity Greek Philosophy, Gnosticism, Hebraism, and Patristic Thought, both before and well after him. Against claims that he causes History to evaporate into barren idealism, his thought is shown to have no other source and aim than historical occurrences. Fronting assertions that he has no eschatological ideas, his Eschatology is ascertained to make its distinctive mark all through, expressly or tacitly. Regarded as the foundation of scriptural interpretation, History is established as a teleological process determined by factors and functions such as providence prophecy promise expectation realization anticipation faith hope awaiting for fulfilment end. Since 1986, the author argues for the unpopular thesis that Origen is an anti-Platonist in many respects. Nevertheless, light is cast upon the Aristotelian rationale of his doctrine of apokatastasis, with its validity argued to be bolstered up by ontological rather than historical premises. The extent of Origen's influence upon what is currently regarded as 'orthodoxy' turns out to be far wider and more profound than that acknowledged hitherto.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
