Résumé
--
Without Origen, there would be no theology. Everything begins with him thanks to him, reflection was introduced to Christianity. Origen's great innovation was to structure theological thinking into a logical and coherent system. Basing his reflection on the faith handed down by the Church, the theologian could approach the major issues of human existence and provide elements of a response that maintained a universal perspective. His influence on both Greek and Latin theology was decisive. It also left its mark on dogmatic theology, exegesis and spirituality. In God's discourse, he introduced new formulas and new images thanks to him, the study of the Bible became a real science. His commentaries and homilies were read, copied and much used - even by his detractors. Jerome, Ambrose of Milan, Augustine, the great exegetes of Antiquity took up many of their distant predecessor's ideas. Even mystical life was subject to his wisdom. The commentary and the homilies on the Song of Songs are the work of a man matured by reflection and endurance. Yet, this prolific author is not well known, doubtless as a result of the suspicion of heresy that fell on the master of Alexandria. It is important to take up his cause, develop his ideas and show his errors, thus restoring the finest passages of Christian thought for our reading and study.
