Studies on Origen at the beginning of the 21st century
continue to dig old and new grounds of research. After the epoch-making
rediscovery of the great Alexandrian doctor throughout the past century,
contemporary research increasingly deals with the close context of his writings
and thought: the cultural tradition of Alexandria in all its components -
Hellenistic, Jewish, Egyptian, Gnostic and Christian. This topic was the theme
chosen for the Colloquium Origenianum Octavum (Pisa, 27-31 August 2001), a
major event of patristic scholarship. The proceedings now contain more than 100
papers of contributors from about 30 countries. They not only provide the best
overview on a lively field of studies but also demonstrate how Origen's
heritage in Christian history and theology carried with it the imprint of one of
the most vital traditions of Western civilization.
