Origen
Origène (en grec ancien : Ὠριγένης / Ôrigénês) est le père de l'exégèse biblique. Né à Alexandrie vers 185 et mort à Tyr vers 253, c'est un théologien de la période patristique. Il est reconnu comme l'un des Pères de l'Église mais, contrairement à eux, il n'a pas été canonisé par l'Église catholique ni par l'Église orthodoxe, en raison de certaines de ses thèses qui furent rejetées par l'orthodoxie chrétienne. Il y eut aussi au IIIe siècle un autre Origène, philosophe néoplatonicien et païen, condisciple de Plotin et de Longin, avec lequel on l'a parfois confondu. En savoir plus sur Wikipédia
