To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
He says : " When I had devoted myself wholly to the Word, and my fame went abroad concerning my proficiency, as I was sometimes visited by heretics, sometimes by those who were conversant with the studies of the Greeks, especially those who were pursuing philosophy, I was resolved to examine both those opinions of the her- etics and those works of the philosophers which pre- tend to speak the truth. " The heathen Porphyry tells us how well he carried out this design: "He was always in company w...ith Plato and the works of the chief philosophers known to his time, and others whose writings are valued in his hands. " He acquired not only the learning of the Greeks, but also became familiar with the Hebrew, in which his mother was his fellow-student. Origen was no mere scholar and ascetic; he knew well the men, the form and fashion of his time. About the age of twenty-seven he visited Rome, the capital of the world — the representative of its ma- terial forces as Alexandria of its intellectual energy.
