{"product_id":"origen-john-behr-9780199684021","title":"Origen: On First Principles, Reader's Edition","description":"\u003cem\u003eOn First Principles\u003c\/em\u003e by Origen of Alexandria, written around 220-230 AD, is one of the most important and contentious works of early Christianity. It provoked controversy when written, provoked further debate when translated into Latin by Rufinus in the fourth century, and was the subject, together 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 of 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 Christian tradition.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Behr\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0199684022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780199684021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/07\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Other\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.48lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.40h x 6.40w x 2.10d\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eNot available to be shipped via Media Mail\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"John Behr","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44131611738367,"sku":"9780199684021","price":255.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Other","offer_id":45475167928575,"sku":"9780199684021","price":280.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c7ca7a5b-fb89-4973-90cf-a7a8c4f42294.jpg?v=1687475400","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/origen-john-behr-9780199684021","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
