Wovon es handelt
Der erste Band der Schriften des Origenes in der englischen Übersetzung des 19. Jahrhunderts: das ganze De principiis und das erste Buch von Contra Celsum.
Kontext und Geschichte
De principiis ist der erste christliche Versuch, Gott, Welt, Seele und Schrift in einer einzigen geordneten Darstellung unterzubringen. Ein Textproblem sollte man kennen: Das griechische Original ist fast vollständig verloren, und was wir lesen, stammt überwiegend aus Rufins lateinischer Übersetzung, von der er selbst einräumt, sie geglättet zu haben, um zu entfernen, was schon damals verdächtig klang. Es ist also gefilterter Origenes, und seine umstrittensten Thesen — die Präexistenz der Seelen, die endgültige Wiederherstellung — kommen gedämpft an.

This just and good God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, Himself gave the Jaw, and the prophets, and the gospels, being also the God of the apostles and of the Old and New Testaments. Secondly, That Jesus Christ Himself, who came [into the world], was born of the Father before all creatures; that, after He had been the servant of the Father in the creation of all things—“ For by Him were all things made” ’—He in the last times, divesting Himself [of His glory], became a man, and was incarnate although God, and while made a man remained the God which He was; that He assumed a body like to our own, differing in this respect only, that it was born of a virgin and of the Holy Spirit: that this Jesus Christ was truly born, and did truly suffer, and did not endure this death common [to man] in appearance only, but did truly die; that He did truly rise from the dead; and that after His resurrection He conversed with His disciples, and was taken up [into heaven]. Then, thirdly, the apostles related that the [oly Spirit was associated in honour and dignity with the Father and the Son.…
