"This book is a significant contribution to scholarship on Origen by one of the world's foremost Origen scholars... In reclaiming Origen's ecclesial setting, this book is important not only to scholars interested in Origen but also to theology more broadly, locating the first ever 'systematic' theologian in ecclesial settings and demonstrating the centrality of biblical exegesis to Origen's thought." - Tom Greggs, Theology
