Description: "The origins of Christian exegesis are obscured by ancient authors' lack of differentiation between verbatim quotations, summaries, explanatory paraphrases, and mere assertions. Carl Johan Berglund discerns what we can know of Heracleon's literary-critical Gospel commentary from Origen's presuppositions of Gnostic heresies."
