Specificatii
Journey Back to God explores Origen of Alexandria's creative,
complex, and controversial treatment of the problem of evil. It
argues that his layered cosmology functions as a theodicy that
deciphers deeper meaning beneath cosmic disparity. Origen asks: why
does God create a world where some suffer more than others? On the
surface, the unfair arrangement of the world defies theological
coherence. In order to defend divine justice against the charge of
cosmic mismanagement, Origen develops a theological cosmology that
explains the ontological status and origin of evil as well as its
cosmic implications. Origen's theodicy hinges on the journey of the
soul back to God. Its themes correlate with the soul's creation,
fall and descent into materiality, gradual purification, and
eventual divinization. The world, for Origen, functions as a school
and hospital for the soul where it undergoes the necessary
education and purgation. Origen carefully calibrates his cosmology
and theology. He portrays God as a compassionate and judicious
teacher, physician, and father who employs suffering for our
amelioration. Journey Back to God frames the systematic study of
Origen's theodicy within a broader theory of theodicy as
navigation, which signifies the dynamic process whereby we impute
meaning to suffering. It unites the logical and spiritual facets of
his theodicy, and situates it in its third-century historical,
theological, and philosophical context, correcting the distortions
that continue to plague Origen scholarship. Furthermore, the study
clarifies his ambiguous position on universalism within the context
of his eschatology. Finally, it assesses the cogency and
contemporary relevance of Origen's theodicy, highlighting the
problems and prospects of his bold, constructive, and optimistic
vision.
