This title was first published in 2002.Origen (AD 185 - 254) is
regarded as one of the figures chiefly responsible for the
contamination of biblical theology with pagan philosophy in the
early church. Edwards argues that Origen set out to construct a
Christian philosophy, yet he did so with the intention of
preserving theology from the infiltration of pagan thought.
Examining the question of philosophical influence on Christian
thought, Edwards argues that scholars have often leapt to
unjustified conclusions based simply on common vocabulary or
parallel development. This book advances new interpretations of the
early Christian systems which are generally called 'Gnostic', and
the Doctrine of the Trinity in Origen's 'Platonist' teacher Clement
of Alexandria. Edwards concludes that Origen's hermeneutics,
eschatology, cosmology and Trinitarian theology are all related to
his understanding of human nature, which is radically opposed to
that of Platonism.
