ORIGEN?
Origen was one of the early Christian fathers and perhaps the greatest of them all.
Born at Alexandria, in 186. A.D., the son of a martyr, he devoted his life to philosophy and the defence of the scrip tures. At the age of 45, he was ordained a presbyter, after which he settled down as a teacher of theology, writing many books on the essential significance of the gospels, be- sides laying the foundation stone of the huge edifice of textual criticism ́ ́ which sub- sequent generations of stud- ents have built up by their labours,

Origen's writings have had a profound influence on Chris- tian thought throughout the
