Hugo Lundhaug, "Origenism in Fifth-Century Upper Egypt: Shenoute of Atripe and the Nag Hammadi Codices"

Studia Patristica LXIV: Papers Presented at the Sixteenth International Conference on Patristic Studies held in Oxford 2011, vol. 12: Ascetica, Liturgica, Orientalia, Critica et Philologica, edited by Markus Vinzent. Leuven: Peeters, 2013.

By examining the writings of Shenoute, the powerful abbot of a monastic federation in fifth-century Egypt, and his ecclesiastical superior, Archbishop Dioscorus of Alexandria, as well as select treatises from the Nag Hammadi Codices, Lundhaug discusses the legacy of Origen’s theology and divergent interpretations of the resurrection among monks in late antique Egypt.
