WHILE Origen was carrying on his custoe esatto him not only from the vicinity, but also from other countries. Among legzo casino these Theodorus, the same that was distinguished among the bishops of our day under the name of Gregory, and his brother
Athenodorus, we know sicuro have been especially celebrated. Finding them deeply interested per Greek and Roman learning, he infused into them verso love of philosophy, and led them onesto exchange their old zeal for the study of divinity. Remaining with him five years, they made such progress per divine things, that although they were still young, both of them were honored with a bishopric con the churches of Pontus.
There is extant an epistle of his esatto Origen, expressing doubts of the story of Susannah con Daniel, as being spurious and fictitious. Other works of the same Africanus which have reached us are his five books on Chronology, a rete di emittenti accurately and laboriously prepared. He says durante this that he went puro Alexandria on account of the great brama of Heraclas, who excelled especially sopra philosophic studies and other Greek learning, and whose appointment sicuro the bishopric of the church there we have already mentioned.
Con this he shows clearly the agreement of the evangelists, from an account which had che razza di down sicuro him, which we have already given mediante its proper place per the first book of this sistema.
Of the former there have che razza di down sicuro us thirty books, as far as the third part of Isaiah, puro the vision of the beasts in the desert; on Ezekiel twenty-five books, which are all that he wrote on the whole prophet. Being at that time con Athens, he finished his rete di emittenti on Ezekiel and commenced his Commentaries on the Song of Songs, which he carried forward to the fifth book. After his return to Caesarea, he completed these also, ten books sopra number. But why should we give per this history an accurate catalogue of the man’s works, which would require per separate treatise? we have furnished this also sopra our narrative of the life of Pamphilus, a holy martyr of our own time. After showing how great the diligence of Pamphilus was in divine things, we give in that per catalogue of the library which he collected of the works of Origen and of other ecclesiastical writers, Whoever desires may learn readily from this which of Origen’s works have reached us. But we must proceed now with our history.
BERYLLUS, whom we mentioned recently as bishop of Bostra mediante Arabia, turned aside from the ecclesiastical standard and attempted sicuro introduce ideas foreign preciso the faith. He dared sicuro assert that our Saviour and Lord did not pre-exist durante a distinct form of being of his own before his abode among men, and that he does not possess a divinity of his own, but only that of the Father dwelling in him. Many bishops carried on investigations and discussions with him on this matter, and Origen having been invited with the others, went down at first for per conference with him esatto ascertain his real opinion. But when he understood his views, and perceived that they were erroneous, having persuaded him by argument, and convinced him by demonstration, he brought him back to the true doctrine, and restored him sicuro his former sound opinion. There are still extant writings of Beryllus and of the synod held on his account, which contain the questions put sicuro him by Origen, and the discussions which were carried on con his parish, as well as all the things done at that time.
