The Pre-History of the Pelagian Controversy, Part I
In this chapter I give an outline of the historico-theological background of the Pelagian controversy, focusing on Origen and Tertullian, Cyprian, Hilary, and briefly Ambrosiaster, with emphasis on the philosophico-theological concepts of grace and free will, on the one side, and ethical intellectualism and the roots of original sin, on the other. These issues are discussed mainly with a view to Augustine. The case is made that Origen was not the…
Intellectual Constructions of Free Will
Philosophical and religious voices in the imperial period and Late Antiquity emphasized individual responsibility and free will, including, from the early Christian side, anti-“Gnostic” (and later anti-Manichean) defenses of free will against determinism. This essay concentrates on the rather neglected author Bardaisan, who rejected the deterministic astrological arguments maintained by Stoics, “Gnostics,” and “Chaldeans,” and, like Origen, argue…

Origen, the Philosophical Theologian
How did Origen, one of the major Patristic thinkers, construct his philosophical theology? What are his main innovations in metaphysics, protology, Trinitarian Theology and Christology? How did he view the relation between philosophy and theology? This is a collection of over twenty essays, mostly from world-leading journals and books from outstanding publishers, besides two new ones, from Professor Ilaria L.E. Ramelli’s life-long, and always con…
Cornutus, Survey of the Traditions of Greek Theology
This chapter concentrates on the Roman Stoic Cornutus’s mythological allegoresis in his handbook of Greek theology. For each divinity, from Ouranos to Hades, Cornutus provides an allegorical-etymological interpretation of its names and epithets, attributes, aspects of its myths and rituals, and so on. Physical allegory (Zeus represents the ether; Hera, the air, etc.) is prevalent, although there are also examples of ethical and historical exegese…
Allegorizing and Philosophizing
After presenting the meaning and scope of allegory and philosophical allegoresis, and their relation to mythology in antiquity and late antiquity, this chapter points out how central the defense of myths from charges of impiety was to philosophical allegoresis. The main exponents of the allegoresis of myths from Theagenes onward are presented, The chapter argues that in Stoicism the allegoresis of myths was not only a rhetorical device or an etym…

Patterns of Women's Leadership in Early Christianity
This authoritative volume brings together the latest thinking on women’s leadership in early Christianity. Featuring contributors from key scholars in the fields of Christian history, the volume considers the evidence for ways in which women exercised leadership in churches from the first to the ninth centuries CE. This rich and diverse collection breaks new ground in the study of women in early Christianity. This is not about working with one me…
Typology
The hermeneutical principle of interpreting a character or fact of the Bible as a prefiguration ( typos ) of a future character or event is already internal to the Bible, and was pursued by Patristic exegetes in a variety of ways, sometimes dovetailing it with allegorical–spiritual interpretations.
Seneca the Younger (Lucius Annaeus Seneca)
Lucius Annaeus Seneca the Younger (ca. 4 bce –65 ce ) is one of the foremost exponents of imperial Stoicism. His life, thought, and works will be briefly examined – also in light of recent research, for instance regarding his theological ideas and his stance toward allegoresis, slavery, and Judaism.
Seven Liberal Arts
The seven liberal arts were called liberales because they provided the education considered to be proper for a free person. The origin of the concept goes back to Classical and Hellenistic times, but the grouping of liberal arts into seven dates to Late Antiquity.
Sentences of Sextus
The so‐called Sextii Sententiae seem to be, in their present form, a Christian collection, probably dating to the second century ce , of mostly moral sentences ascribed to the Pythagorean Sextus. It shows how Stoic, Cynic, Platonic, and Pythagorean asceticism was absorbed by a Christian author – not only sexual restraint, but also voluntary poverty. I will explore the most important aspects of this collection, concerning asceticism and the relati…

Martianus Capella
Martianus Capella was a poet, influenced by Neoplatonism, who probably came from Roman Africa (Carthage) and wrote his masterpiece, De Nuptiis Philologiae et Mercurii in the early fifth century ce , likely to have been before 439, although the dating of Martianus is difficult.

The Father in the Son, the Son in the Father in the Gospel of John
This article will investigate the context – in terms of both sources (by means of influence, transformation, or contrast) and ancient reception – of the concept of the ‘dynamic unity’ of the Father in the Son and the Son in the Father (expressed in John 10:38, 14:10, and 17:21) in both ‘pagan’ and Christian Middle-Platonic and Neoplatonic thinkers. The Christians include Clement of Alexandria, Origen, and Gregory of Nyssa, as well as Evagrius Pon…

Institutionalisation of religious individualisation
Institutionalisation of religious individualisation: asceticism in antiquity and late antiquity and the rejection of slavery and social injustice was published in Religious Individualisation on page 695.
Afterword
How can practices generate, accelerate, or undermine the institutionalisation -or conventionalisation (see the Introduction to Part 2 of this publication) -of religious individualisation? This question, which we initially posed to our authors and which also underlies the first sub-section of this part of the publication, has three conceptual components -'practices', 'institutionalisation', and 'religious individualisation' -, each of which are as…
Lucius Annaeus Cornutus
The Stoic and polymath Cornutus flourished in Rome in the 60s ce , although we do not know for sure the date of his birth and death. He was banished by Nero and was the teacher of the poet Persius. He stood in the tradition of ancient Stoic allegorical exegesis which he applied to all aspects of religion: literary myths, cultic epithets and attributes, and iconographical representations.
Annaeus Cornutus and the Stoic Allegorical Tradition
The Roman Stoic Cornutus, who lived in the age of Nero, is the heir of an ancient and rich Stoic allegorical tradition applied to all aspects of traditional religion: literary myths, cultic epithets and attributes, and even iconographical representations of deities. Allegoresis (allegorical exegesis) was applied in antiquity to culturally and religiously authoritative texts. It was mainly practiced by “pagan” philosophers like Stoics and Middle a…
Origen's Anti-Subordinationism and its Heritage in the Nicene and Cappadocian Line
Nyssen's arguments in In Illud: Tunc et Ipse Filius entirely derive from Origen (probably also passing through Marcellus of Ancyra and Eusebius). Origen's influence, theoretical and exegetical, is evident in every passage, from the argumentative pillars down to the tiniest details of exegesis. Gregory's close dependence on Origen in his anti-subordinationism, within his polemic against 'Arianism,' confirms that Origen was not the forerunner of 'A…
Ethos and Logos
This essay analyses the most significant sources-some overlooked so far-on the debate on ethos and logos that was lively between "pagan" and Christian philosophers in the second century ce. Epictetus's attribution of a behaviour based on ethos to the Christians should not be regarded as utterly negative, but should rather be connected with his teacher Musonius's high appreciation of ethos, even over logos. Marcus Aurelius's and Celsus's negative …
Origen, Bardaiṣan, and the Origin of Universal Salvation
Is Origen of Alexandria the inventor of the eschatological doctrine of apokatastasis — of the eventual return of all creatures to the Good, that is, God, and thus universal salvation? Certainly, he is one of its chief supporters in all of history, and he is, as far as we know, the first to have maintained it in a complete and coherent way, so that all of his philosophy of history, protology, and anthropology is oriented toward this telos. 1 There…

Typology
The hermeneutical principle of interpreting a character or fact of the Bible as a prefiguration ( typos ) of a future character or event is already internal to the Hebrew Bible, where the Exodus traditions are seen as types of Israel's final redemption (Isa 51–2).
Seneca the Younger (Lucius Annaeus Seneca)
Lucius Annaeus Seneca the Younger (ca. 4 BCE –65 CE ) is one of the foremost exponents of imperial Stoicism.
Seven Liberal Arts
These arts were called liberates because they provided the education proper to a free person.
Soul, Greece and Rome
The notion of soul is a fundamental concept in the philosophical and religious landscape of the ancient Greco‐Roman world. In Homer, psychē indicates the vital breath, which keeps a human alive, and the unconscious, unknowing phantasm that after death goes into Hades.
Martianus Capella
Martianus Capella was a poet, influenced by Neoplatonism, who probably came from Roman Africa ( CARTHAGE ) and wrote his masterpiece, De Nuptiis Philologiae et Mercurii (Willis 1983) in the early fifth century CE , likely before 439, although the dating of Martianus is difficult.

Philo as Origen’s Declared Model
After on overview of Origen’s relations to Rabbinic exegesis, I turn to the relations between Origen and Hellenistic Judaism. I investigate how Philo and Origen use the instrument of allegory to read the Bible in the light of philosophy, but both of them react against a sheer allegorization of Scripture, which existed both in the Jewish allegorizers who preceded Philo and in ‘Gnostic’ Christian allegorizers. Even Philo and Origen, however, though…
Origen, Greek Philosophy, and the Birth of the Trinitarian Meaning of Hypostasis
Origen, far from being a precursor of “Arianism,” as he was depicted during the Origenist controversy and is often still misrepresented today, was the main inspirer of the Nicene-Cappadocian line. 1 The Trinitarian formulation of this line, which was represented above all by Gregory of Nyssa, is that God is one and the same nature or essence in three individual substances and that the Son is to the Father. Indeed, the three members of the Trinity…
Terms for Eternity
What is truly timeless? This book explores two ancient Greek terms for eternity, aiônios and aïdios. It traces these terms from their earliest occurrence in Pre-Socratic philosophy and Plato and through their interaction with Jewish thought and down into the patristic fathers, where they play a crucial role in debates over eternal punishment vs. universal salvation.
Terms for Eternity
Apuleius and Christianity
Origen in Augustine
I argue that, paradoxically, Augustine embraced much of Origen’s system, especially in his anti-Manichaean polemic, exactly when he was convinced that he did not know his thought. The most remarkable point in his initial adherence to Origen’s ideas regards the apokatastasis doctrine, which he later condemned as heretical and felt the need to recant in his Retractationes (Second Thoughts). I point out many other elements of contact concerning phil…
Constantine and the legal recognition of Christianity
Cesarz Konstantyn nie tylko zdecydowanie zniósł skutki senatus consultum z roku 35, zakazującego wyznawania chrześcijaństwa, lecz także przekształcił je w Imperium Rzymskim z illicita superstitio w religio licita. Jednak już przed Konstantynem były takie próby – usiłował to dokonać Galien, jednak tylko z efektem częściowym i czasowym; być może zamierzali uczynić to także Hadrian, Aleksander Sewer i Heliogabal, jednak bez powodzenia. Najbardziej …

Social Justice and the Legitimacy of Slavery
Were slavery and social injustice leading to dire poverty in antiquity and late antiquity only regarded as normal, ‘natural’ (Aristotle), or at best morally ‘indifferent’ (the Stoics), or, in the Christian milieu, a sad but inevitable consequence of the Fall, or even an expression of God’s unquestionable will? This monograph shows that there were also condemnations of slavery and social injustice as iniquitous and even impious, and that these cam…
Conclusions
The Conclusion summarizes and discusses the main results yielded by the monograph, then reflects on some critical issues and the meaning and implications of the results obtained. Orlando Patterson’s depiction of ancient slavery as ‘social death’ is shown to be already present in Nyssen. Ancient people could hardly consider slavery as a stand-alone institution, and Aristotle dignified slavery ideology in (pseudo-)philosophical clothes. But there w…
Gregory Nyssen’s Family and Origen
This chapter compares Gregory’s theory with his and his own family’s practice. He praised Macrina, Naucratius, and others for embracing voluntary poverty and service, and renouncing slave ownership. The theological arguments underpinning Nyssen’s condemnation of slavery, it is argued, are the same as buttress his condemnation of social injustice and usury. Nyssen deemed slavery and social injustice impious. Wealth was regarded as tantamount to th…
