Negotiating Heresy

The Reception of Origen in Jerome's Eschatalogical Thought

Jerome of Stridon has gone down in the history of Christianity as a fierce defender of what he considered to be orthodox teaching, and, in particular, as a convinced opponent of Origenism. However, this champion of orthodoxy often found himself suspected of relying on heretical writers, and a main purpose of his heresiological efforts was to defend himself against such accusations. The present study argues that this was the case with his production of anti-Origenist polemics in the context of the Origenist controversy. It aims at contributing to a nuanced description of Jerome’s way of relating to Origen’s thought, which implied acceptance as well as resistance. It is suggested that as a result of Jerome’s anti-Origenist rhetoric, important aspects of his reception of the Alexandrian writer have been overlooked by modern scholarship. Taking account of the rhetorical strategies that Jerome used both in his presentation of Origen and in his orthodox self-presentation, the great complexity of his reception of Origen is revealed.

Für alle verborgen

Der biblisch-alexandrinische Mysterienbegriff bei Origenes

Gegenstand dieser Untersuchung ist der Begriff μυστήριον (lateinisch mysterium bzw. sacramentum) bei dem Kirchenschriftsteller Origenes. Der Mysterienbegriff des Alexandriners setzt sich aus biblischen und platonischen, jüdisch-christlichen und paganen Vorstellungen zusammen. Auf der Grundlage der Schriften der Alexandriner Clemens und Origenes wird die Vielschichtigkeit des Mysterienbegriffs und seine Entwicklung im alexandrinischen Denken dargestellt. Begleitend stellt sich die Frage, inwiefern der Mysterienbegriff bei Origenes esoterisch oder elitär ist – dazu bietet die Untersuchung eine differenzierte Einschätzung. Aus der Perspektive des Menschen, der sich auf einen geistig-geistlichen Weg begibt, stellt sich die Beobachtung ein, dass die christlichen Mysterien in die Weite und in die tiefere Begegnung mit Gott führen wollen. Im Sinne einer pädagogischen Esoterik sind sie „für alle verborgen“: Sie tragen für jeden Menschen den Aspekt des Unverfügbaren in sich, ebenso aber die Zusage, für jeden, der sich bemüht, mit Gottes Hilfe das Ersehnte zu finden.

Perspectives on Origen and the History of his Reception

The present volume contains papers on Origen and the history of his reception which were presented at a series of workshops at the Eighteenth International Conference on Patristic Studies held at Oxford in August 2019. They provide multifarious insights into various aspects of Origen’s thought and his impact on different topics of theology, exegesis and philosophy from Late Antiquity to Early Modern Times. By connecting the Alexandrian’s legacy with recent developments in Patristics and Classics, they open up new perspectives for Origen scholarship in the new millenium. Research on Origen can be connected with studies, e.g., on rhetoric and power, on individuality and diversity, on gender and equality issues, on determinism and freedom and on questions of cultural transfer and transformation. The contributions to this volume can thus be taken as starting points for future studies on Origen within the broader context of contemporary research in science and the humanities.

"Meine Zunge ist mein Ruhm"

Studien zu den neuen Psalmenhomilien des Origenes

Seit der überraschenden Entdeckung des Originaltextes einiger Psalmenhomilien des Origenes (185–253/54) durch Marina Molin Pradel im April 2012 hat sich Lorenzo Perrone (Universität Bologna) intensiv mit dem Münchner Codex Graecus 314 befasst. Die Handschrift aus dem 12. Jahrhundert enthält Predigten über die Psalmen 15, 36, 67, 73–77, 80 und 81 (Septuaginta-Zählung). Die Echtheit der 29 Predigten, die alle dem Alexandriner zuzuweisen sind, ergibt sich sowohl aus äußeren (besonders aus dem Vergleich mit den Exzerpten in den Katenen-Handschriften) als auch aus inneren Kriterien der Sprache, des Stil und des Inhalts. Die Homilien sind ein einzigartiges Zeugnis für die vielfältige Psalmenauslegung des Origenes sowohl in Kommentaren als auch in Predigten. Der Aufsatzband erläutert das außerordentliche Interesse der Sammlung unter verschiedenen exegetischen, spirituellen und theologischen Aspekten und eröffnet einen neuen Zugang zu Origenes als „Mann der Bibel“.

Die Frau am Jakobsbrunnen in altkirchlicher Johannesexegese

Erkenntnis, Pädagogik und Spiritualität bei Origenes, Johannes Chrysostomus und Augustinus

Die Studie untersucht die altkirchlichen Auslegungen der Begegnung Jesu mit der Samaritanerin am Jakobsbrunnen (Joh. 4,1–42) im Johanneskommentar des Origenes sowie in den Homilien des Johannes Chrysostomos und des Augustinus. Diese Begegnung steht für die Kirchenväter für die Begegnung zwischen Gott und Mensch und ist damit paradigmatisch für die Beschäftigung mit der altkirchlichen Exegese, da auch in der Bibel und in der Exegese der Mensch dem Wort Gottes und mittelbar Gott begegnen kann.
Die Dissertation fragt: „Wie lesen die drei Exegeten die Perikope?“ und „Warum lesen sie die Perikope so?“ Für die Beantwortung dieser Fragen ordnet sie die Auslegungen in die Biographien der drei Autoren, in den historischen Kontext sowie schließlich in die altkirchliche Bibelhermeneutik ein. Damit leistet sie einen Beitrag zur altkirchlichen Auslegungsgeschichte des Johannesevangeliums.

A Complex Relation

Reading Anne Conway from a Process Theological Perspective

How does spirit relate to body? In this book, Karen Felter Vaucanson presents two adverse answers to this fundamental question, and she gives a detailed description and evaluation of the philosophies from which they stem. Whether we conceive of being in terms of static and isolated units or as processual and inherently relational, the answer to the spirit-body problem has implications for how we understand God, the universe, and ourselves. The work of seventeenth-century philosopher Anne Conway is the fulcrum of Karen Felter Vaucanson’s analysis of the intellectual struggle between these competing world-views. She shows how these two philosophical paradigms have existed side by side through centuries, from Platonism until present day process philosophy. In this systematic theological analysis, she traces the implications of Conway’s thought for the question of the God-world relation, and that of personal identity. This book offers a combination of detailed analyses of concrete texts and general perspectives on intellectual history. It wrestles with major problems, which no theologian or philosopher can avoid, and is therefore of general interest for all who study theology and philosophy.

Heterodoxy and Rational Theology

Jean Le Clerc and Origen

Despite his controversial reputation, Origen of Alexandria (185–253) was very much present in 17th- century religious debates. His official condemnation by the Church was a stain on his theological and exegetical reputation, yet his work remained a source of inspiration for some. For others, he was a heretic to be refuted. In Jean Le Clerc (1657–1736), a Swiss born Dutch Biblical scholar and literary journalist, we find elements from both camps although their opinions are not given equal weight, and he made a clear-cut assessment of Origen’s condemnation. As a member of the Arminian Church, Le Clerc had to defend his religious affiliation throughout his life, especially rejecting the predominating Reformed views on such hotly debated topics such as human freedom, divine agency and predestination. He also had to protect his theological reputation from other accusations of heterodoxy, especially Socinianism. Surprisingly, Origen became a key ally in Le Clerc’s struggle, despite the fact that he had to utilise the Alexandrian’s thought in nuanced ways and to communicate it with great care in order to discourage frontal attacks on himself based on Origen’s reputation and work.

The Sacramentality of the World and the Mystery of Freedom

Hans Urs von Balthasar, Reader of Origen

Hans Urs von Balthasar’s interest for Origen can be placed within the movement of Ressourcement: until the very end of his life, the Swiss theologian declares his preference for the Alexandrian, among the Church Fathers. This book offers the first in-depth study of the Alexandrian’s presence in the life of Balthasar. This is achieved not only considering his two specific books on Origen, Spirit and Fire and Le Mysterion d'Origène, but also analyzing specific Origenian ideas that played a decisive role in shaping Balthasar’s own theological building.
The book starts from a reconstruction of the context that brought Balthasar to study the Fathers and of the main polemical references in his interpretation, specifically facing the challenges posed by such movements as Neo-Scholasticism and the Idealistic interpretation of Neoplatonism. Balthasar’s study of Origen emerges not as a disinterested, ahistorical reading, but rather as connected to the main issues facing 20th-century Catholic theology. The task of a historical reconstruction is accomplished also through to the analysis of theologians who played a fundamental role in Balthasar’s interpretation of Origen: Henri de Lubac, Karl Rahner, and Karl Barth. The book moves then to analyzing the main theological elements traceable in the relationship between Origen and Balthasar: Eros, spiritual senses, freedom, and universal salvation. Throughout these ideas, Balthasar’s attitude towards Origen emerges as dynamic and multifaceted. Against the charge of uncritical retrieval, his approach can be schematically understood with the help of five categories: silence, critique, enthusiasm, appreciation, and inspiration. Each category is approached and explained in correspondence with certain works within Balthasar’s corpus. This dynamic approach to Origen, united to a familiarity with the Fathers that Lubac called “connaturality”, makes Balthasar an example of the possibility of rethinking the role of the Church Fathers today.

Condemnation of Origen

Emperor Justinian and the Council of Constantinople 553

At the instigation of the byzantine emperor Justinian I., Origen of Alexandria (185–253/54) was condemned to be a heretic in the sphere of the Ecumenical Council of Constantinople 553. This denunciation had extensive consequences for the further reception of his works, his theology and the picture future generations would get of him. The articles of the present volume analyse the church-political, monastic and theological backgrounds of the debates about Origen and the works attributed to him on the basis of the sources available. These sources are edited at the appendix of this volume with detailed annotations and german translations (mostly for the first time), as a tool for the future research concerning this subject.

Freedom as a Key Category in Origen and in Modern Philosophy and Theology

Freedom is a key category of concepts of God and men in modern philosophy and theology. In German idealism of the 17th and 18th centuries as well in 20th-century theologies, different concepts of libertarianism between determinism and compatilism were presented. The first to forge a libertarian concept of freedom was Origen of Alexandria. The volume aims at discussing modern ideas of freedom against the backdrop of the paths of thinking which were opened up by Origen in late antiquity.

Origen's Philosophy of Freedom in Early Modern Times

Debates about Free Will and Apokatastasis in 17th-Century England and Europe

The articles of this volume shed new light on the reception of Origen’s concepts of free will and universal salvation in 17th-century England and Europe. The Cambridge Platonists took up the Alexandrian’s libertarian concept of freedom and discussed his core ideas within the new philosophical developments of their own time. In continental Europe, the Dutch Arminians, Jean Le Clerc and the Pietist couple Johanna Eleonora and Johann Wilhelm Petersen dealt with questions related to Origenism.

That Miracle of the Christian World

Origenism and Christian Platonism in Henry More

The present collection of essays is devoted to the Christian philosophy of the most prolific and most speculatively ambitious of the Cambridge Origenists, Henry More. Not only did More revere Origen, whom he extolled as a “holy sage” and “that miracle of the Christian world”, but he also developed a philosophical system which hinged upon the Origenian notions of universal divine goodness and libertarian human freedom. Throughout his life, More subscribed to the ancient theology of the pre-existence of souls and took issue with the early modern philosophies of Thomas Hobbes, René Descartes and Baruch de Spinoza. His vision of God’s goodness, experienced in his early school years at Eton, became the cornerstone of an Origenist rationalism which envisaged an extended world animated by divine thought and inhabited by self-moving rational agents. More’s philosophy is the crowning attainment of the early modern rediscovery of Origen as well as a neglected major rationalist system in its own right which went on to exert decisive influence upon all subsequent western metaphysics.
The essays collected in the first part provide a detailed introduction to More’s voluminous writings. After a comprehensive general overview of his metaphysical and ethical system, the essays expound More’s historical context and his philosophical development from his early poetry in the 1640s to his mature philosophical and theological prose works of the 50s, 60s and 70s. In addition, the reception of More and Origen in the later Cambridge Origenists and in Isaac Newton is outlined. The second part contains several excerpts from More’s influential Latin works first translated into English by the editor.

Origenes Cantabrigiensis

Ralph Cudworth, Sermon preached before the Honourable House of Commons and other writings

Ralph Cudworth's sermon preached before the Honourable House of Commons in 1674 is written in the spirit of Origen's philosophical thinking and contains a determined appeal for doctrinaire openness and religious tolerance. The articles of the present volume analyse this document of Cambridge Origenism which can be seen as pioneering within the context of the political and ecclesiastical confusions of the English Civil War. The volume offers beside the gently modernised text und the first german translation further letters and poems of the young Cudworth, and a sermon of 1664. These texts are vivid documents of his platonic-origenean "Philosphy of Religion" and of his irenic Christianity of interiority in practical ethos of universal love.

Origen in France: Pierre Daniel Huet’s Origeniana

Origeniana is considered a milestone in the academic history and research on the Christian philosopher Origen, published in 1668 by the French scholar Pierre Daniel Huet (1630-1721). The three volumes contain the first academic analyses of the life, teachings and writings of Origen. Huet was, however, critical of Origen’s philosophy of reason. Contrary to the rationalism of René Descartes‘ cogito ergo sum, Huet advocated a form of radical skepticism, whose distrust of reason led to equally radical fideism, in which faith is considered superior to reason. It is from this perspective that Huet criticized Origen’s efforts towards a rational understanding of Christianity; with his excessive emphasis on reason and the freedom established therein, the Alexandrinian had led theology down the wrong path. Despite his personal dissent, Huet nonetheless defended Origen from the many unjustified and exaggerated accusations often made against the philosopher throughout the history of Origenism, presenting the latters’ thoughts and critically and objectively reflecting upon them utilising scientific methods.

Schriftsinn und Theologisches Verstehen

Es waren vor allem außertheologische, hermeneutische Forschungen, Entwicklungen in den Literaturwissenschaften, kanongeschichtliche Studien, Forschungen zu geistlichen Rezeptionen des Christentums und jüdisch-christliche Arbeiten, die der biblischen Exegese und der Theologie ihre eigenen Voraussetzungen nahebrachten und zu einer christusbezogenen Gesamtschau verhalfen. Schon Origenes (* 185 n. Chr.) wusste von ihr. Sie kann auch heute bedeutungsvoll und gewichtig entdeckt werden.

Origenes und der Ursprung der Freiheitsmetaphysik

Origenes und der Ursprung der Freiheitsmetaphysik bietet eine Gesamtdarstellung der vom größten griechischen Kirchenvater geschaffenen ersten christlichen Philosophie. Die Wirklichkeit erscheint darin insgesamt als in sich gestufte Freiheit. Zum einen verteidigt Origenes in Auseinandersetzung mit den Determinismen der Philosophen, insbesondere der Stoiker, und der Gnostiker, vor allem der Valentinianer, mit großer Entschlossenheit die Wahlfreiheit des Menschen. So entstammt seiner Feder die erste christliche Untersuchung über das Wesen der Freiheit überhaupt. Zum anderen denkt der Alexandriner auch Gott selbst und die Welt als dynamische Freiheitswirklichkeit und Heilsgeschichte, die in der Einheit eines glückseligen „Gott alles in allem“ zu ihrer Vollendung kommt.

Logic and Argumentation in Origen

The activity of Origen of Alexandria (185–253), one of the most prolific early Christian scholars, encompassed different branches of theology. His enormous exegetical achievement is grounded on solid philological and hermeneutical foundations. With his De principiis, the Alexandrian thinker was the creator of systematic theology, and in his Contra Celsum, he composed the most intellectual piece of Greek patristic apology. A common element of these different segments of activity is that they are based on scientific and logical principles and were developed with methodological consciousness. The main topic of this book is what Origen said in his writings about logic, rationality in its broadest sense, dialectic, and theory of science, and what the characteristics of his strategy of argumentation are.

Christ - The Teacher of Salvation

Christ, his nature, and his works are the most central elements of Christian theology. Origen of Alexandria (185-254) plays an important role in the history of Christology and soteriology. He wrote his many biblical commentaries, theological treatises, and homilies before the Councils of Nicaea (325) and Chalcedon (451) issued their Christological doctrines, which were to set the agenda for Christological thinking for many centuries. In many respects Origen’s work paved the way for the decisions made in Nicaea and Chalcedon, yet Origen’s Christology is much more multifaceted than these creeds. His Christology is characterized by his understanding of Christ as God’s Wisdom and Word who includes and creates cosmos as a whole. His soteriology is characterized by his pedagogic and universalist thinking, which portrays Christ as a physician and a teacher who leads all human beings and the whole cosmos to completion in God. The present book provides a detailed analysis and interpretation of Origen’s Christology and soteriology as it is expounded in a number of his most important writings thus providing a comprehensive and coherent picture of Origen’s multifaceted Christology and soteriology.

Origenes Humanista

The works of Origen were an important source of inspiration for the intellectual awakenings of the Renaissance and Humanism, developments in which the oration On the Dignity of Man from 1486 by Giovanni Pico della Mirandola (1463-1494) plays a central role. In his discourse published posthumously in 1496, man, by virtue of his freedom, determines his own position in the cosmos. This capacity for self-determination is the basis of his responsibility for his actions and constitutes his dignity. Pico also comments on Origen in his Nine Hundred Theses from 1486, that it is more reasonable to assume Origen was redeemed than to suppose he was condemned. As this was one of the statements for which he was accused of heresy, he defended himself and Origen in his treatise A Disputation about Origen’s Salvation, the first extensive apologia of the genius from Alexandria since antiquity.

Die Cambridge Origenists - George Rusts Letter of Resolution Concerning Origen and the Chief of His Opinions

The years 1658-62 represent something like an Origenist stage in English theology, producing not only translations and work editions but entire philosophical systems in the spirit of Origen. The anonymously published writings by the Anglican Bishop George Rust in 1661 are a manifesto of modern Origenism; in critically arguing with the new philosophies of those such as Hobbes or Descartes on one hand and Calvinist theology on the other, Rust further develops fundamental insights by Origen in an original manner.

Adamantiana 2

Autonomy and Human Dignity

Emphasizing the moral autonomy of man, his inalienable dignity as the image of God, and the perspective of hope for universal salvation, Origen’s (185-253/54) theology has had a major impact on Early Modern thought; European humanism, the Cambridge School’s Platonism and German classical philosophy have all drawn from Origen’s ideas and further developed upon them. Highlighting key paradigms from the modern history of philosophy and theology, the second volume of the Adamantiana series traces the legacy of the Alexandrian scholar up to present day. Thus, Origen proves himself to be a significant forefather of modern thought regarding autonomy and human dignity.

Origen and his Legacy in the Orient and Occident

Through his works as a teacher, exegete and philosopher, the Alexandrian Origen (185-253/254) laid the foundations of a Christian culture. One of the first Christian theologians, he engaged in the philosophical and religious discussions of his time at the highest intellectual level. Due to the breadth and boldness of his thought, Origen has not only had a major impact on all ecclesiastical traditions deriving from Late Antiquity, but was also a profound influence on the history of philosophy. The new Adamantiana series, opening with this volume, is dedicated to Origen’s thinking as well as to its legacy throughout the Orient and Occident, aiming to make it accessible for academic research in a wide range of disciplines.
