The Westminster Handbook to Origen John Anthony McGuckin, EDITOR REFERENCE / PATRISTICS The Westminster Handbook to Origen "This book provides ready access into and sure guidance through the marvelous, often convoluted, invariably rich world of Origen: the man, the ecclesiastical dynam- ics of his day, his extant works, the range of his theological explorations, his influ- ence, and the controversies associated with him in life and in death. Practical rec- ommendations for use and clear presentation of topics enable the reader, whether novice or specialist, to engage Origen in ways that address the reader's interest. A compelling look at the fearless theological vision of one who honored the teaching of the apostles and delighted in investigating its implications for all of life." - RfBfCCA H.W fAVfR, John a Oickinson Professor of Church History, Union Theological Seminarya nd the Presbyterian School of Christian fducation "McGuckin has grasped and encompassed the wider scope of Origen's vision and mission. He has moved beyond the polarities of churchman or theologian, mystic or philosopher, by creating a canvas large enough to embrace the competing interests and passions in Origen's life. McGuckin places Origen's writings squarely in the flow of his life, within the geography of his ecclesiastical relations and the ferment of regional controversies. What distinguishes this presentation of Origen is its liveli- ness. Origen simply walks off the page and into our contemporary world bringing with him his passion for building a Christian intellectual center to rival Athens and Alexandria:' - KARfN TORJfSfN, Margo l. Goldsmith Professor of Women's Studies in Religion and Oean, School of Religion, Claremont Graduate University "Those who invest themselves in reading this remarkable volume will receive com- petent, convenient guidance from experts into the life, mind, and world of Origen. Students making their first acquaintance with him will receive immediate orienta- tion to the essentials. Those already established in Origen studies will find it a handy reference with articles that will expand their own understanding." -0.J HFRfY BINGHAM, Chair and Professor of Theological Studies, Oallas Theological Seminary JOHN ANTHONY McGUCKIN is ProfessQr of Early Church History at Union Theological Seminary, New York, and an adjunct professor of religion at Columbia University.
