More about the book

Focusing on the philosophical context, this work critically examines the influence of Greek thought on Origen, a prominent third-century theologian. Professor Panayiotis Tzamalikos presents a compelling argument that positions Origen as an anti-Platonist, challenging traditional interpretations. He contends that the misinterpretations leading to Origen's anathematisation in AD 553 stemmed from uneducated zealots. Tzamalikos' analysis offers a fresh perspective on Origen's legacy and the complexities of early Christian thought.
