True Law

Origen was a Christian theologian and church father from Alexandria who composed a number of commentaries on books in the Hebrew Bible and the New Testament, as well as topical treatises, polemical works, and homilies. Origen was conversant in contemporary Greek traditions, which contributed to his teachings being deemed heretical a few centuries after his death. He was largely on good terms with Jewish groups and defended them against libel. He even mentions having conferred with Jews on certain Hebrew words for the sake of his exegesis.
