Origen

Behr has proven himself to be an able commentator and analyst of early Christian theology in both its Latin and Greek varieties. Here he shows himself also to be a splendid translator of one of the most acclaimed and yet too often unread works of early Christian theology. ... [T]his new edition should prove to be a constant reference point for students of early Christian theology and exegesis and - one might hope - an instigating force for further research upon Origens contribution to theological developments in the third century Christian church.
