Celsus and Origen on Divine Descent: Rhetoric, Linguistics and Philosophical Theology in Origen, <i>Contra Celsum</i> 4.1-22: Ancient Philosophy & Religion

Autor Freerk Jan H. Berghuis
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 14 iun 2023
Can the Divine itself come down to earth? The Platonist Celsus rejected it as most shameful, Origen however defended this idea as an essential part of Christian doctrine. This book comments on passages from Origen’s Against Celsus 4 in which both authors put forward their arguments. The Greek text is discussed from three perspectives: linguistics, rhetoric and philosophical theology. This approach includes a focus on the communication between author and readers, the structure of the discourse, and the persuasive strategies used by Celsus and Origen. Attention is also given to conceptions of God and his relation to the world, which form the backdrop to their arguments. Moreover, their theological conceptions are related to the wider philosophical discourse of the Greco-Roman age.
