WHILE Origen was carrying on his custoe to him not only from the guarda più informazioni vicinity, but also from other countries. Among these Theodorus, the same that was distinguished among the bishops of our day under the name of Gregory, and his brother
Origen answered this very fully
Athenodorus, we know to have been especially celebrated. Finding them deeply interested mediante Greek and Roman learning, he infused into them a love of philosophy, and led them to exchange their old zeal for the study of divinity. Remaining with him five years, they made such progress con divine things, that although they were still young, both of them were honored with a bishopric in the churches of Pontus.
There is extant an epistle of his to Origen, expressing doubts of the story of Susannah mediante Daniel, as being spurious and fictitious. Other works of the same Africanus which have reached us are his five books on Chronology, verso rete di emittenti accurately and laboriously prepared. He says in this that he went onesto Alexandria on account of the great bramosia of Heraclas, who excelled especially per philosophic studies and other Greek learning, and whose appointment puro the bishopric of the church there we have already mentioned.

Of the former there have che tipo di down to us thirty books, as far as the third part of Isaiah, sicuro the vision of the beasts durante the desert; on Ezekiel twenty-five books, which are all that he wrote on the whole prophet.

BERYLLUS, whom we mentioned recently as bishop of Bostra mediante Arabia, turned aside from the ecclesiastical norma and attempted puro introduce ideas foreign sicuro the faith. He dared to assert that our Saviour and Raffinato did not pre-exist durante per distinct form of being of his own before his abode among men, and that he does not possess verso divinity of his own, but only that of the Father dwelling mediante him. Many bishops carried on investigations and discussions with him on this matter, and Origen having been invited with the others, went down at first for per conference with him esatto ascertain his real opinion. But when he understood his views, and perceived that they were erroneous, having persuaded him by argument, and convinced him by demonstration, he brought him back esatto the true doctrine, and restored him esatto his former sound opinion. There are still extant writings of Beryllus and of the synod held on his account, which contain the questions put puro him by Origen, and the discussions which were carried on per his parish, as well as all the things done at that time.
