Orígenes: Sedução e irrisão

The Diocese of São Sebastião do Rio de Janeiro released a profile on Orígenes, a Christian teacher from Alexandria born around the year 185.

The profile notes that his preference for allegorical interpretation and the influence of Platonic philosophy led to certain doctrinal controversies, though these do not diminish his work in exegesis and theology. Orígenes was imprisoned and tortured during the persecution of Décio.
