A detailed survey of the life and thought of Origen (c.185-254 A.D.), the most important Greek-speaking Christian theologian and Biblical scholar in antiquity. Heine considers how the two urban centers of Alexandria in Egypt and Caesarea in Palestine, and their communities of faith, had a discernable impact on Origen's intellectual work.
