Book excerpt: "An ambitious and very well-researched book on the way in which Origen deals with a fundamental issue in ancient philosophy---the position, state, and function of the soul in a living being. It is a topic at the core of all anthropological and cosmological thinking in Late Antiquity. In elegant, lucid prose, Blosser takes the reader gently through the minefield of previous scholarship and presents a very clear and skillful exposition of Origen as religious philosopher."---John A. McGuckin, Professor of Byzantine Church History, Columbia University, and Editor of The Westminster Handbook to Origen of Alexandria --Book Jacket.
