Origen's references to Heracleon

a quotation-analytical study of the earliest known commentary on the gospel of John

Also known as Quotation-analytical study of the earliest known commentary on the gospel of John

by Carl Johan Berglund

  • First published:
  • 21st century
  • Language: English

The origins of Christian exegesis are obscured by ancient authors' lack of differentiation between verbatim quotations, summaries, explanatory paraphrases, and mere assertions. Carl Johan Berglund discerns what we can know of Heracleon's literary-critical Gospel commentary from Origen's presuppositions of Gnostic heresies.
