From the days of antiquity to the time of the Middle Ages,
intellectuals have widely assumed that stars were alive, a belief
that gave the cosmos an important position not only in Greek
religion, but also in discussions of human psychology and
eschatology. In the third century AD, the Christian theologian
Origen included such Hellenistic theories on the life and nature of
the stars in his cosmology, a theory that would have important
implications for early Christian theology. Moving through a wide
range of Greek, Latin, and Oriental sources from antiquity to
medieval times, this is the first thorough treatment of Origen's
biblical theology. The second book in the new Oxford Early
Christian Studies series, Origen and the Life of the Stars provides
a new look at the roots of early Christian thought.
