Johnson	A Sign for This Generation: The Life of Jesus in Origen's Gospel Commentaries	2021		.txt	text/plain	263	7	36	In addition to offering the first comprehensive study of the earliest extant commentaries on the Gospels (written c. 230 – 250 CE), this project tests David F. Strauss's astonishing claim that no prior understanding of the Gospels more nearly approached the modern mythical view—of which he was the founder—than Origen's (The Life of Jesus Critically Examined, 1835). In short: Origen doesn't just read the Gospels figuratively; he believes the Evangelists were themselves figurative readers of the life of Jesus.	cache/9306sx64j54.txt	txt/9306sx64j54.txt
