الزهد في العالم الإغريقي-الروماني
في هذا الكتاب يقدم ريتشارد فين للمرة الأولى دراسة متكاملة لتقاليد الزهد الرئيسة التي لم تفهم بصورة صحيحة نتيجة تناولها بصورة منفصلة عن بعضها. فالزهد هو التقشف وعدم الالتفات إلى مغريات الحياة، وكذلك السيطرة على النفس، وكبح شهواتها، مع نكران الذات ليصبح الفرد أو الجماعة في علاقة قرب مع المقدس، وتحظى ممارسات الزهد ومثله الثقافية العليا بأهمية عند الوثنيين والمجوس واليهود والمسيحيين بمختلف أطيافها، كما يقدم المؤلف دراسة مفصلة عن كيفية امتناع الناس عن الطعام، والشراب، والعلاقة الجنسية، والنوم، وجمع الثروات، ويرسم الكتاب صورة لظهور الرهبانية في مصر، وآسيا الصغرى، وسوريا، وشمال أفريقيا، مع تقييم للدور المحوري الذي لعبه المفسر اللاهوتي أوريجانوس في القرن الثالث الميلادي، ويطرح تساؤلا عن سبب انتشار الرهبانية بصور متنوعة في مناطق مختلفة ..

The Christology of Origen
In this essay, I will provide an overview of the Christology of Origen. Because Origen expressed his views in a variety of different literary and polemical contexts, and because the person of Christ pervades the entirety of his thought, I will focus my attention primarily on issues pertaining to his reception at Nicaea. I will highlight the key Origenian texts that shed light upon the theological questions with which he was preoccupied and address the role of the Monarchians in shaping his understanding of Christ. I will also address what I regard as one of Origen’s signature contributions to Christology, a contribution that has not yet received adequate attention, namely his understanding of the mystical body of Christ into which we enter at Baptism.

Interpreting the Bible Like Homer: Origen’s Prosopological Exegesis in the New Homilies on the Psalms
Origen’s prosopological exegesis, derived from a technique developed for Homeric interpretation by the Alexandrian grammarians and applied by Christian interpreters to some texts of the Scriptures, has been already studied in its principal aspects by a few scholars in the 1980s, especially M.-J. Rondeau and B. Neuschäfer. However, the discovery of a corpus of 29 Greek homilies which have been attributed to Origen makes necessary a reexamination of the previous studies, in order to verify (and possibly correct) their results. This study aims to present such a comparison, analyzing some examples of prosopological exegesis in the new Homilies on the Psalms in the light of other examples in Origen’s remaining literary oeuvre; furthermore, it aims to show that Origen adopted (and adapted) an exegetical technique typical of the Alexandrian Homeric philology.

Origen and the Platonic Tradition
This study situates Origen of Alexandria within the Platonic tradition, presenting Origenas a Christian philosopher who taught and studied philosophy, of which theology was part and parcel. More specifically, Origen can be described as a Christian Platonist. He criticized “false philosophies” as well as “heresies,” but not the philosophy of Plato. Against the background of recent scholarly debates, the thorny issue of the possible identity between Origen the Christian Platonist and Origen the Neoplatonist is partially addressed (although it requires a much more extensive discussion); it is also discussed in the light of Origen’s formation at Ammonius’s school and the reception of his works and ideas in “pagan” Platonism. As a consequence, and against scholarly perspectives that tend to see Christianity as anti-Platonism, the final section of this paper asks the question of what is imperial and late antique Platonism and, on the basis of rich evidence ,suggests that this was not only “pagan” institutional Platonism.

THE ROLE OF THE UNITARY MODEL OF ANTHROPOLOGY IN PATRISTIC APOLOGETICS
(ProQuest: ... denotes non-USASCII text omitted.) Debates among Christians concerning the composition of man date back to early Christianity. \"7 Gousmett, who has done some of the most significant work in this area, argues that this model, though evident in Platonism and other aspects of Greek thought, was adopted by some Christians as a result of \"decline in millennialism, rise of ascetism, and glorification of virginity and denigration of marriage, as well as an eclipse of the centrality and significance of the resurrection of the body. \"9 Its adoption by Christians coincided with the interaction of Christianity with Greek thought and seems to have been a result of an emphasis on the concept of the immortality of the soul. Thankfully, Irenaeus provides the reader with enough information to answer these questions. Since Irenaeus was defending the doctrine of bodily resurrection, consensus in scholarship is that his opponents here were the gnostic groups that had borrowed Platonic ideas concerning the body.

‘The whole church is here listening’: Tracing the sensus fidelium in public discourse in the early church
This essay forms the basis for the case that contemporary application of the concept of the sensus fidelium as a vehicle for transmitting accurate doctrine relies primarily on shifts in power structures in the first several centuries of the church. By investigating two documents depicting public theological dialogues in the presence of both clergy and laity, Origen's Dialogue with Heraclides from the third century and the Dialogue of Heraclian from the fourth century, I argue that the intersection of a widening gap between lay and clergy with a shrinking importance in public theological debate served actually to relocate the sensus fidelium from the efforts of powerful clergy into the lived churchly practices of the laity.

Against the Grain
An Economist Best History Book 2017
\"History as it should be written.\"-Barry Cunliffe,
Guardian \"Scott hits the nail squarely on
the head by exposing the staggering price our ancestors paid for
civilization and political order.\"-Walter Scheidel, Financial
Times Why did humans abandon hunting and gathering
for sedentary communities dependent on livestock and cereal grains,
and governed by precursors of today's states? Most people believe
that plant and animal domestication allowed humans, finally, to
settle down and form agricultural villages, towns, and states,
which made possible civilization, law, public order, and a
presumably secure way of living. But archaeological and historical
evidence challenges this narrative. The first agrarian states, says
James C. Scott, were born of accumulations of domestications: first
fire, then plants, livestock, subjects of the state, captives, and
finally women in the patriarchal family-all of which can be viewed
as a way of gaining control over reproduction. Scott explores why
we avoided sedentism and plow agriculture, the advantages of mobile
subsistence, the unforeseeable disease epidemics arising from
crowding plants, animals, and grain, and why all early states are
based on millets and cereal grains and unfree labor. He also
discusses the \"barbarians\" who long evaded state control, as a way
of understanding continuing tension between states and nonsubject
peoples.
