Using his excellent knowledge of Greek, which was then rare in the West, to his advantage, he studied the Hebrew Bible and Greek authors like Philo, Origen, Athanasius, and Basil of Caesarea, with whom he was also exchanging letters.

The combination of Scriptural study and of Greek learning was characteristic of the famous Alexandrian School, of Clement, Origen, Dionysius and Theognostus.

This positive use carried over from Hellenic philosophy into Greek Orthodoxy as a critical characteristic of ascetic practices, through St. Clement of Alexandria, Irenaeus, Hippolytus of Rome, Hegesippus, and Origen.

Origen explicitly mentions the name of Josephus 11 times, both in Greek and Latin.

Origen ( 184 / 185 – 253 / 254 ) interpreted such Old Testament passages as being about manifestations of the Devil ; but of course, writing in Greek, not Latin, he did not identify the Devil with the name " Lucifer ".

He had learned from the Greek apologies, and forms a direct contrast to Origen of Alexandria, who drew much of his theories regarding creation from middle platonism.

The word " necromancy " is adapted from Late Latin necromantia, itself borrowed from post-Classical Greek νεκρομαντεία ( nekromanteía ), a compound of Ancient Greek νεκρός ( nekrós ), " dead body ", and μαντεία ( manteía ), " prophecy or divination "; this compound form was first used by Origen of Alexandria in the 3rd century CE.

Greek mysticism influenced many early church theologians such as Clement of Alexandria and Origen.

Origen claims that the title of the original was Sarbēth Sarbanael ( variants include Σαρβηθ Σαβαναι ελ " Sarbēth Sabanai El " and Σαρβηθ Σαβανέελ Sarbēth Sabaneel ), an enigmatic Greek transliteration from a putative Hebrew original.

Origen interpreted the New Testament's reference ( Acts 3: 21 ) to a " restoration of all things ", ( Greek: apocatastasis of all things ), as meaning that sinners might be restored to God and released from Hell, returning the universe to a state identical to its pure beginnings.

Apart from Papias ' comment, we do not hear about the author of the Gospel until Irenaeus around 185 who remarks that Matthew issued a written Gospel of the Hebrews ( Against Heresies 3. 1. 1 ) Pantaenus, Origen and other Church Fathers also believed Matthew wrote the Gospel of the Hebrews ( Church History 5. 10. 3, 6. 25. 4 ) None of these Church Fathers asserted that Matthew wrote his Gospel in Greek.

In subsequent centuries, especially as Christian apologetics began to use Greek philosophy to explain Christian ideas, Neoplatonism became an influence on Christian mystical thought and practice via such authors as Augustine of Hippo and Origen.

In particular a common text-type has been proposed to be found: in the ninth / tenth century Codex Koridethi ; in Minuscule 1 ( a Greek manuscript of the Gospels used, sparingly, by Erasmus in his 1516 printed Greek New Testament ); and in those Gospel quotations found in the third century works of Origen of Alexandria, which were written after he had settled in Caesarea.

It was brought from Philippi by two Greek bishops, who presented it to King Henry VIII, whom they informed that tradition reported it to have been the identical copy which had belonged to Origen.

Against the second may be set the negative testimony of Photius who had read the original ; " Photius, who was severe to excess towards the slightest semblance of Arianism, remarked no such taint in the Apology of Origen which he had read in Greek.

He embraced a subordinationist Christology ( that God did not have a beginning, but the Logos did ), heavily influenced by Alexandrian thinkers like Origen, which was a common Christological view in Alexandria at the time.

Treatment of eschatology continued in the West in the teachings of Tertullian ( c. 160 – 225 ), and was given fuller reflection and speculation soon after by Origen ( c. 185 – 254 ).

Through the activities of the theologian Origen ( 185 / 6 – 254 ) and the school of his follower Pamphilus ( later 3rd century – 309 ), Caesarea became a center of Christian learning.

The Church Fathers, witnessed by the Muratorian Canon, Irenaeus ( c. 170 ), Clement of Alexandria, Origen, and Tertullian, held that the Gospel of Luke was written by Luke.

An issue that is subject to more debate is that in Commentary on Matthew ( Book X, Chapter 17 ), Origen cites Josephus as stating the death of James had brought a wrath upon those who had killed him, and that his death was the cause of the destruction of Jerusalem.

Feldman states that it would make no sense for Origen to show amazement that Josephus did not acknowledge Jesus as Christ ( Book X, Chapter 17 ), if Josephus had not referred to Jesus at all.
