Origen : Philosophy of History & Eschatology (Supplements to Vigiliae Christianae) P.

Against claims that Origen causes History to evaporate into barren idealism, his theology is shown to have no other source and aim than historical occurences. Fronting assertions that he has no eschatological ideas, this Eschatology is explicated in all its clarity. Light is cast upon the Aristotelian character of Origens doctrine of apokatastasis, proving this based on ontological necessity, not a historical one.
