G.L. Prestige's 1940 Bampton Lecture on Origen

The following article is now online in PDF:

G.L. Prestige, "Lecture 3: Origen: or, The Claims of Religious Intelligence," Fathers and Heretics. Bampton Lectures 1940. London: SPCK, 1940. Pbk. pp.43-66.

G.L. Prestige's lecture is (in my opinion) one of the best short summaries of the life, works and significance of Origen. It should be required reading for anyone taking a course in early church history.

Rob,

many thanks for your earlychurch.org.uk site. I am grateful for all the work you do. I am interested principally in the Apostolic Fathers. However I found the Bampton Lecture on Origen excellent.
Keep up the good work.
Regards,

Noel.
