ben_smitty's review against another edition
4.0
"For the only way we can accept the command to 'pray constantly'... as referring to a real possiblity is by saying that the entire life of the saint taken as a whole is a single great prayer."
A useful collection of Origen's main works. I found his "Exhortation to Martyrdom" to be very encouraging, especially in the place in my life where I've bought into a more comfortable Christianity. His commentaries on the book of Numbers and Song of Solomon were also fascinating. Although I'm still not sold on interpreting all of the OT allegorically/spiritually, Origen provided some good answers to the questions I've had about that method of interpretation.
