Die Homilien zum Buch Genesis [PDF ebook] 

The main focus of Origen’s work was exegesis of the Bible ‑ in large commentaries, but also in sermons, which explore in particular the Old Testament allegorically and typologically. Origen distinguishes between a literal and a figurative, moral-spiritual interpretation of the Holy Scripture. Especially in the case of his sermons on the Book of Genesis it is fascinating to follow how Origen as teacher and pastor attempts to convey to the congregation the many different aspects of holy insights, from cosmology to the allegorical interpretation of Lot’s wife being turned into a pillar of salt.
