Scriptural interpretation was an important form of scholarship for Christians in        late antiquity. For no one does this claim ring more true than Origen of Alexandria        (185-254), one of the most prolific scholars of Scripture in early Christianity.          This book examines his approach to the Bible through a biographical lens: the focus        is on his account of the scriptural interpreter, the animating centre of the        exegetical enterprise. In pursuing this largely neglected line of inquiry, PeterW.          Martens discloses the contours of Origen's sweeping vision of scriptural exegesis as        a way of life. For Origen, ideal interpreters were far more than philologists        steeped in the skills conveyed by Greco-Roman education. Their profile also included        a commitment to Christianity from which theygathered a spectrum of loyalties,        guidelines, dispositions, relationships and doctrines that tangibly shaped how they        practiced and thought about their biblical scholarship. The study explores the many        ways in which Origen thought ideal scriptural interpreters (himself included)        embarked upon a way of life, indeed a way of salvation, culminating in the        everlasting contemplation of God. This new and integrative thesis takes seriously        how the discipline of scriptural interpretation was envisionedby one of its        pioneering and most influential practitioners.
