Fr John McGuckin presents us with a very accessible introduction to Origen's life and works and a comprehensive survey of his legacy which demonstrates that, despite his ancient condemnations and later misrepresentations, Origen indeed was, remained, and still is, in the words of St Gregory the Theologian, 'the sharpening stone of us all'. -- Fr John Behr, University of Aberdeen
