Saint Frances Xavier Cabrini: Cecchina's Dream Book

A bear to get through, but de Lubac presents a mediating argument to Origenean scholarship. While most point toward Origen's eccentricities, de Lubac gives a reminder that the core of Origen's work was orthodox and centered on solid exegesis of Scripture. However, de Lubac seems a bit more accepting of Origen's allegorical flights of fancy than orthodoxy would allow, but the focus on more central characteristics of Origen's exegetical style is much needed lest this early defender of orthodoxy and expositer of Scripture be made into a caricature by the contemporary scholar.
