Scheck (Ph.D., University of Iowa) is assistant professor of classics and theology at Ave Maria University in Naples, Florida. He is the author of Origen and the History of Justification and the translator of other commentaries by Origen and Jerome. Christopher A. Hall is chancellor at Eastern University.

Klappentext Origen was one of the most influential pre-Nicene church fathers, whose exegetical method shaped much of subsequent interpretation of the Old Testament. Some of his theological speculations were condemned in the 6th century, but his influence as a Christian scholar and Old Testament exegete remain undiminished. This book offers a fresh, contemporary translation of Origen's 28 homilies on the book of Numbers.
