On First Principles by Origen of Alexandria, written around 220-230
AD, is one of the most important and contentious works of early
Christianity. It provoked controversy when written, provoked
further debate when translated into Latin by Rufinus in the fourth
century, and was the subject, together with its author, of
condemnation in the sixth century. As a result, the work no longer
survives intact in the original Greek. We only have the complete
work in the Latin translation of Rufinus, and a few extensive
passages preserved in Greek by being excerpted into the Philokalia
of Basil of Caesarea and Gregory of Nazianzus. John Behr provides a
new edition and translation of one of the most important texts from
early Christianity. He includes an invaluable introduction, which
provides a clear structure of the work with significant
implications for how the text is to be read and for understanding
the character of theology in the early Christian tradition.
