| Quotation | The Treatise on Prayer is the first thing of Origen's that I have really liked except perhaps the Homilies on Exodus and Numbers. It is simple and great. He really is a tremendous mind, although he often looks ordinary or even stuffy. But no, The Treatise on Prayer is great. One of the best things ever written on prayer-by its wholeness, objectivity. It is catholic and clear and close to the Gospel-Christ talks and speaks in it. |
