Description: This book offers a comprehensive account of Origen's pneumatology. In its examination of the Holy Spirit's identity (who the Spirit is) and activity (what the Spirit does), the study reads Origen in his context and surveys his entire corpus. It also provides a fresh perspective of Origen's Trinitarian thought.
Review Quotes: "Micah M. Miller's monograph investigates Origen's pneumatology, focusing on the Holy Spirit's relationship with the Father and the Son, his unity and multiplicity, his activities, and his role in human salvation, correcting previous studies that underestimated the extent of his thought." -- Antonio Gaytán, Augustinianum
Miller's research is invaluable to scholars and students of early church theology who focus their studies on Origen's theology and those interested in the development of trinitarian theology in the early centuries of the church.-- Esther P. Qu PhD student, Religious Studies Review"Origen of Alexandria and the Theology of the Holy Spirit is a sound, substantive study of the Spirit's ambiguous status in Origen's theological system. It advances Origen scholarship and serves as a valuable reference point for those tracing early developments in pneumatology." -- Mark S. M. Scott, Reading Religion"This book on Origen's pneumatology is a very useful and important publication not only in the field of the early Christian studies and of the scholarly literature on Origen and the Alexandrian tradition, since it contributes to our knowledge of Origen's interpretation of the Holy Spirit, but also in the field of history of theology, since it sheds light on how Origen has contributed to the theological definition of the notion of Holy Spirit." -- Vito Limone, Theologische Revue
