On First Principles

A monumental first attempt, these Four fascinating books contain Origen’s formulation of a coherent system of Christian philosophy. Book One of De Principiis (Books I-IV) or "On First Principles" essentially deals with God and creation, Book Two with creation of rational and irrational natures, providence and redemption, and Book Four with the interpretation of Holy Scripture. Solely based upon the authority of the Scriptures and Church tradition Origen’s work is a masterpiece! A great tool to a deeper understanding of early Christian thought.
