Origen ne invita, in omiliile acestui volum, sa parcurgem impreuna drumul de la sclavie la libertate, asa cum este el inteles in cel de-al doilea tratat al Bibliei, Exodul. Actul interpretarii devine astfel participare, iar Exodul, considera exegetul crestin, este vocatia fiecarui individ: fiecare dintre noi este o fiinta aflata in „exod“. Observarea propriei situari, in impropriu, este simultana reorientarii: cititorul este invitat de exeget sa-si regaseasca „locul propriu“. Doar aceasta relocare va putea livra sens, doar acest „exod“ va preda semnificatia corecta a unui faimos (si controversat) pasaj biblic, adnotat de catre Origen in acest volum, cel privitor la „incremenirea“, prin actiune divina, a inimii Faraonului.
Origen Adamantius was an early Christian scholar, theologian, and one of the most distinguished of the early fathers of the Christian Church. According to tradition, he is held to have been an Egyptian who taught in Alexandria, reviving the Catechetical School of Alexandria where Clement of Alexandria had taught.
Using his knowledge of Hebrew, he produced a corrected Septuagint. He wrote commentaries on most of the books of the Bible. In De principiis (On First Principles), he articulated one of the first philosophical expositions of Christian doctrine.
