Cavadini examines Origen's views on God's incorporeality and its implications for understanding love and freedom.
John C. Cavadini examines Origen’s claim that the Bible teaches God is asomatos (incorporeal). Far from being a mere philosophical import, Origen’s doctrine of incorporeality is redefined through biblical revelation as a radical, personal freedom to love and suffer. By analyzing the "soul of God" and the Son’s self-emptying, Cavadini argues that Origen presents a "soulful" Trinity whose transcendent freedom is uniquely expressed in creation and the incarnation.
