It provoked controversy when written, provoked further debate when translated into Latin by Rufinus in the fourth century, and was the subject, \u003cbr\u003etogether with its author, of condemnation in the sixth century. As a result, the work no longer survives intact in the original Greek. We only have the complete work in the Latin translation of Rufinus, and a few extensive passages preserved in Greek by being excerpted into the Philokalia of Basil\u003cbr\u003eof Caesarea and Gregory of Nazianzus. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eJohn Behr offers a translation of one of the most important texts from early Christianity. He includes an invaluable introduction, which provides a clear structure of the work with significant implications for how the text is to be read and for understanding the character of theology in the early\u003cbr\u003eChristian tradition.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Behr, John\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/01\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780198845317\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 448\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.00w x 1.00d","brand":"John Behr","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39450564067403,"sku":"9780198845317","price":52.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0021\/1697\/6715\/products\/img_de5d6918-fa25-4245-8eed-85b41ae93435.jpg?v=1627395019","url":"https:\/\/blackbookstore.com\/products\/origen-on-first-principles-readers-edition-9780198845317","provider":"Black Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
