Résumé
--
Published in 1948, this book by Jean Daniélou about Origen has greatly contributed to the restoration of a Father of the Church who was also one of the great authors of Christian Antiquity. Contrary to many studies which, until now, have privileged one aspect of his work to the detriment of others, this book assembles the diverse components, so revealing all their richness. After situating Origen at the centre of the Christian community at the end of the 2nd century and the beginning of the 3rd, Jean Daniélou shows how this Father of the Church stood in relation to the philosophical currents of his times- taking concepts or patterns of thought here and there, but also raising objections that the philosophers could then formulate against Christianity. The author presents his manner of reading the Bible which, in a certain respect, owes much to the 'typological' tradition passed on from the New Testament and the early Fathers, but which also bears the mark of non-Christian influences (especially of the work written by the Jewish exegete, Philo of Alexandria). Moreover, it presents Origen's theological ideas, from cosmology to eschatology, taking in the doctrines of Incarnation and Salvation. Finally, it demonstrates that Origen is a 'great spiritual Christian' and insists on the influence this Father's work was to deploy on the history of mysticism. Jean Daniélou's book is not only a testimony to what was the patristic renewal of the 20th century it also shows how a great work of the past can make a contribution to our intelligence of the faith today.
