This study deals with Origen’s Doctrine of Creation. Origen was the first great biblical scholar who was an early church Father and apologist for Christianity. He may be considered the Founder of Christian Philosophy. But He disagreed strongly with the Greek philosophers (for example, Plato and Aristotle) who claimed that God is the architect that formed the world out of eternal matter. Origen insisted that God created matter itself. He contributed to the doctrine of the Trinity with his teaching on the eternal generation of the Son by the Father. The Son was eternally of the same nature as the Father but derived from Him.
