Origen and Early Christian Universalism
This chapter explores the teachings of Origen, an early church father known for his universalist beliefs, and how these ideas influenced monastic communities in the Judean desert. It also addresses the challenges modern scholars face in interpreting the theological controversies surrounding Origen and Evagrius, given the limited primary sources and the complexities of early Christian interpretations of eternal damnation.
