The main focus of Origen's work was exegesis of the Bible - in large commentaries, but also in sermons, which explore in particular the Old Testament allegorically and typologically. Origen distinguishes between a literal and a figurative, moral-spiritual interpretation of the Holy Scripture. Especially in the case of his sermons on the Book of Genesis it is fascinating to follow how Origen as teacher and pastor attempts to convey to the congregation the many different aspects of holy insights, from cosmology to the allegorical interpretation of Lot's wife being turned into a pillar of...

The nine preserved Latin homilies on Isaiah represent a little-known work by Origen, translated here into German for the first time. Short annotations are provided to clarify difficult passages. Besides covering the historical process in which Origen's Isaiah interpretation has been handed down, the extensive introduction explains the exegetical, historical-theological and historical-philosophical contexts of the homilies' wealth of perspectives. In these homilies Origen addressed his congregation on themes such as the historical salutary role of Israel, the "obduracy" which befell it and its...

During the persecution of the Christians under Emperor Maximinus Thrax in 235, Origen directed an urgent call to his friends Ambrosius and Protoctetus to hold fast to the Christian faith.
The work provides an example of the literary genre of appeals directed to a wider audience beyond the direct addressees; in the text, Origen takes statements from the Old and New Testaments relating to martyrdom as authorities for his call to remain true to the Christian faith and beware of relapsing into heathenism.

Christoph Markschies legt hier gesammelte Beitrage zu dem christlichen Theologen Origenes (gestorben ca. 254 n. Chr.) vor, der als der erste wissenschaftlich arbeitende Denker des Christentums gelten kann.
