ЭКЗЕГЕЗА ОРИГЕНА КАК СВИДЕТЕЛЬСТВО ПОСТОЯНСТВА ЕГО УНИВЕРСАЛИСТСКИХ ИДЕЙ

In this article, it is argued that Origen did not abandon his universalist ideas in the late period of his career. In his monograph, Ronald D. Heine made some remarks in favour of the plausibility of such a change in Origen’s eschatology. Disagreeing with Heine’s position and using as evidence Origen’s interpretation of 1 Cor. 15, 24–28, the author of the article demonstrates that Origen always remained faithful to his concept of universal restoration. The argumentation is based on such works by Origen as "Commentary on the Gospel according to John" and "Homilies on Leviticus". In this article, a particular emphasis is made on the fact that a sharp sense of eschatological tension was intrinsic to Origen’s universalism
