This is an important new contribution to our understanding of Origen and of early Christian theology in general. Casting both forwards and backwards in time, Guilty of Genius: Origen and the Theory of Transmigration illustrates Origen's debt to earlier Christian authors and Greek philosophers, as well as his enormous influence on later Christian theologians such as the Cappadocians and Maximus Confessor. Building on his earlier books, which ha...

This book elucidates and engages in critical discussion of the Greek philosophical background to the work of Origen, the great third-century scholar and theologian. The author, Professor Panayiotis Tzamalikos, has long argued that Origen was in many respects an anti-Platonist, and that the clauses in Origen's official anathematisation in AD 553 were based on misreadings by unschooled and fanatical drumbeaters. Tzamalikos has refuted those char...

New text of Origen's come to light Origen's Commentary on Mathew is perhaps his latest work, and reference to this was never made by his detractors. Instead, like modern scholars, they always pointed the finger at a garbled, untrustworthy, and heavily interpolated edition of his De Principiis, in order to cheerfully show how much of a 'heretic' Origen was.

An exposition challenging inveterate verdicts ingrained in the historical / theological mindset about Origen, who is shown to have produced a sheerly new theory of Time, the Christian one. Claims attributing the tenet of a 'beginningless world' to him are disproved. The author challenges the widespread impression about this theology being bowled head over heels by its encounter with Platonism or Neoplatonism, casting new light on Origen's gras...

Against claims that Origen causes History to evaporate into barren idealism, his theology is shown to have no other source and aim than historical occurences. Fronting assertions that he has no eschatological ideas, this Eschatology is explicated in all its clarity. Light is cast upon the Aristotelian character of Origen's doctrine of "apokatastasis, " proving this based on "ontological" necessity, not a "historical" one.
