Summary: A splendid translation of a splendid Gospel.
Comment: It has been nearly a century since Books 1-10 of Origen's Commentary in John have been published. Heine's translation of the last extant books is clear and readable, an achievement given Origen's propensity for dense prose. In any case the Commentary in John shows Origen at his best, digging deeply into the text, trying to make the Gospel relevant to his contemporaries. Since less than 200 years passed between Gospel and Commentary, he has insights that, in spite of his much critized method of interpretation, we tend to lose today. Origen, for the weaknesses of his system, still deserves Jerome's moniker as "the greatest teacher since the Apostles."
