Origen and the Life of the Stars: A History of an Idea - Oxford Early Christian Studies
Scott, Alan (Pastor of the Flanders Baptist and Community Church, East Lyme, Connecticut, Pastor of the Flanders Baptist and Community Church, East Lyme, Connecticut)
Intellectuals in antiquity and into the Middle Ages assumed that the stars were alive, and this had a great impact on philosophy, religion, and science. In the third century AD, Origen's development of this idea was not only an interesting episode in its history, but had important implications for early Christian theology.
