Standard accounts of the history of interpretation of Paul’s
Letter to the Romans often begin with St. Augustine. As Thomas P.
Scheck demonstrates, however, the Commentary on the Epistle to the
Romans by Origen of Alexandria (185-254 CE) was a major work of
Pauline exegesis which, by means of the Latin translation preserved
in the West, had a significant influence on the Christian
exegetical tradition. Scheck begins by exploring Origen’s views
on justification and on the intimate connection of faith and
post-baptismal good works as essential to justification. He traces
the enormous influence Origen’s Commentary on Romans had on later
theologians in the Latin West, including the ways in which
theologians often appropriated Origen’s exegesis in their own
work. Scheck analyzes in particular the reception of Origen by
Pelagius, Augustine, William of St. Thierry, Erasmus, Cornelius
Jansen, the Anglican Bishop Richard Montagu, and the Catholic lay
apologist John Heigham, as well as Martin Luther, Philip
Melanchthon, and other Protestant Reformers who harshly attacked
Origen’s interpretation as fatally flawed. But as Scheck shows,
theologians through the post-Reformation controversies of the
sixteenth and seventeenth centuries studied and engaged Origen
extensively, even if not always in agreement. An important work in
patristics, biblical interpretation, and historical theology,
Origen and the History of Justification establishes the formative
role played by Origen’s Pauline exegesis, while also contributing
to our understanding of the theological issues surrounding
justification in the western Christian tradition.
