The Christian church has endured struggles to remain dominant throughout history. Following the resurrection of Christ, many other religions appeared and quickly gained traction. Within Christianity itself, lied different beliefs all disputing each other. Through this internal fight for dominance, blossomed early church theologians. These theologians conveyed a fresh set of ideals that forever transformed the beliefs in the church. Many of which fought for their specific beliefs and reinforced them
El arte Islámico nació en la península Arábiga, con la dinastía omeya en los años 661-750, y al mismo tiempo por medio de sus mandatarios se fueron dispersando para la conquista de Persia, Egipto, el Norte de África, e incluso la península Ibérica. El arte islámico es un arte original, que ha sabido re-interpretar las distintas influencias que se recibieron durante el proceso de su formación, como son las artes clásicas, bizantinas o las distintas tradiciones de aquellos pueblos nómadas.

Allegorizations of the Active and Contemplative Lives in Philo, Origen, Augustine, and Gregory This paper examines the allegorical interpretations given to several Scriptural pairs as they relate to the idea of the active and contemplative lives in Philo, Origen, Augustine, and Gregory. As will be shown, Augustine combines elements found in the two previous writers to form his allegory of the two wives of Jacob as representative of the active and contemplative lives. In Philo, most of the essential
Contribution of School of Alexandria: Alexandria is one of the greatest cities in Egypt. The Hebrew bible was translated into Greek Septuagint here. The Pantaenus was the first teacher of this school. Clement of Alexandria (A.D. 155-215) and Origen (A.D. 185-254) was the outstanding member of this school. In Alexandria, there was a group of scholars trying to make the Christian faith meaningful in the intellectual setting of Alexandria, where the Scriptures were attacked as immoral, trivial, and

Dominance of the bride's words is relevant, because if we hear what she says, we can understand what she hears. This shows a spiritual interconnectedness of the plot in the Song of Songs between Christianity and mysticism. The Bride and the Bridegroom are two basic pillars in this book. Origen talks about a 'spiritual
Origin of the Trinity All Christians believe in God the creator, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit. However, not all of the denominations accept the idea of the Trinity (“threefold”) which is “one God in three Divine Persons.”The Trinity played an important role in the development of early Christianity, Christians either accepted it or declared it as heretical. For something to be so important it must be written in the bible, or mentioned by Jesus Christ. However, there is no written evidence of
Origen developed Irenaeus’ ideas, considering questions such as who the ransom was to be paid to. It could not be God who was holding humanity ransom, and thus it had to be Satan (McGrath, A. 2016, p.225), who had gained rights over humanity through Adam
Writers Between Origen and Arius The distinction between Tritheism and Monarchianism was becoming sharper. Because their mode of defending the unity of God, Monarchians were often accused of Patripassianism and “the denial of the divinity of Christ, by maintaining that the Logos as a separate subsistence formed no part of his nature” (p. 253). During this era, Tritheism, was becoming the orthodoxy while Monarchianism in the form of Sabellianism was becoming its chief opponent. However, in attacking
is probably the so-called ransom theory."[1] This theory declares that the atonement was primarily a means of ransoming humanity from the clutches of Satan. Early proponents of the ransom theory were Origen and Gregory of Nyssa. Elmer Towns explained, "Endorsed by early apologists such as Origen and Augustine, and even contemporary authors C. S. Lewis, J. R. Tolkien, and the Seventh-day Adventists, simply stated this view contends that Christ's death was a ransom

In this paper, there will be a discussion about the canonization of the New Testament. Along with an investigation of who was involved in this process. The people and institution looked at will include the following: Marcion, Irenaeus, Origen, Synod of Hippo, and God. First, let us look at the canonization of the New Testament. The first available list of the New Testament books is called the Muratorian Canon and it dates somewhere around A.D. 150. It has the four Gospels, Acts, 13 letters of
This scholar was Origen of Alexandria, who started the Hexapla Greek for “six folds”. This method consists of Origen dividing the Old Testament into six different parts depending on the similarities and differences of the text. According to Adair (2017), “most portions of the Hexapla consisted of six columns of parallel
For example, the renowned pre-modern theologian, Origen, asserts “This statement ‘Let the dead bury their dead’ implies spiritually: Waste no more time on dead things. You are to ‘put to death therefore what is earthly in you: immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire and covetousness, which is idolatry.’” In connecting Jesus’ commandment in Matthew 8:21-22 to a statement on sin in Colossians 3:5, Origen believes that Jesus’ words here do not speak to a conflict between discipleship
book is never mentioned before the third century and was not mentioned in the Western church until the fourth century. It was not included in the early Syriac versions of the Scriptures or in the Old Latin. It first appears in the church fathers with Origen (185-254 A.D.) who noted that there was some doubt concerning the letter. Eusebius, an early church historian (260-340 A.D.) placed 2 Peter as of disputed canonicity, saying, “But the so-called second Epistle we have not received as canonical, but
Beginning with the first accounts in Genesis to the ultimate final prophecies of Revelation, it is documented that God pursues reconciliation of His people to Himself. One way that reconciliation was established, because of atonement. The word atonement in the Bible is deemed an Old Testament term; appearing only once in the New Testament, which is in the book of Romans 5:11.( https://bible.org/article/atonement-christ) The meaning of atonement according to Baker’s Evangelical Dictionary of Biblical
Trinitarian Beliefs Origen a biblical scholar of the Alexandrian school believed that the Father is the source of the Trinity and therefore He is the absolute God or unbegotten God. Origen taught that the Son manifest attributes of God the Father. He also believed that The Word and Wisdom of God was “eternally generated” by the Father. Although Origen loved God and God’s people his views on the pre-existence of the human soul prior to human birth was condemned as heresy. Origen believed that the
might be found in the improvement that occurred much sooner than Constantine. Surely, the contention was an immediate consequence of the way in which Christians came to think about the way of God, because of the works of Justin, Clement of Alexandria, Origen, and others. Tending to such regarded powers, Christians contended that they had faith in the ideal being of savants, and what they implied when they spoke of God. This contention had two results, first it helped the acknowledgement of Christianity
happen. The two most famous theories come from Origen (185-254) and St Anselm (1033-1109). St Anselm wrote the substitution theory. Humans owe God a perfect life although they cannot do this because of their sins. Jesus lived a perfect life, this means that he did not owe anything else to God, but instead he freely accepted death. Jesus created a surplus of honor and loyalty, so much that he created a repayment to God everything that mankind could not. Origen says atonement should be viewed as a ransom

Angels Angels have played a large role in the development of Christianity. Angels are written to be much more powerful than humans, but not as powerful as God. The perception of angels has varied and evolved over time. “Angel” comes from the Greek word aggelos, which translates “messenger”. The word “angel” actually comes from the Greek word aggelos, or the Hebrew word mal’ak, which means “messenger” (Dictionary.com). They are neither God nor human. They are known to be spiritual beings who serve
