“For if the mystery concealed of old is made manifest to the Apostles through the prophetic writings, and if the prophets, being wise men, understood what proceeded from their own mouths, then the prophets knew what was made manifest to the Apostles.”

Origen
Origen (c. 182 – c. 254 AD) was an early Christian theologian, biblical scholar, and philosopher born in Alexandria, Egypt. He is considered one of the most influential Church Fathers, known for his allegorical interpretation of Scripture and systematic theology. Origen founded the renowned Catechetical School of Alexandria, where he taught many students. His major work, 'On First Principles,' is the first systematic theological treatise in Christianity. Although some of his views were later condemned as heretical, his contributions to biblical criticism, theology, and Christian philosophy remain significant. He died in Tyre, likely due to injuries from earlier persecution. more
