Reviews

In Hall's treatment, prophecy emerges as a fruitful entry into such significant themes in Origen as providence, free will, epistemology, and divine inspiration; her thoughtful and balanced explorations of these topics will benefit readers who range, as Origen would say, from the simple to the mature. * David Brakke, The Ohio State University, The Journal of Religion *
