Origen and Apokatastasis
Re:
Origen of Alexandria and Apokatastasis
Origen was a philosopher whose work was in parallel with early Gnostic and late Hellenistic learning. At the same time he was completely at odds with the Church's word, a heretic for believing in the principles of transformation and rehabilitation (redemption, in Christian terminology, is the return to good during the visible life, or real life; Origen believed redemption was a return to good that continued even after the visible life).
