Volumul reuneste interpretarea origeniana, cea pastrata pina astazi, la cel de-al treilea tratat al Scripturii, Leviticul. Caracterul tehnic al textului biblic, ce descrie relatia, intermediata sacramental, dintre Dumnezeu si poporul ales, adauga o dificultate suplimentara actului interpretativ. Origen, fidel principiilor sale, se va stradui sa descopere si in textul cu o minima disponibilitate exegetica invitatia la un alt tip de lectura, alegorica. Incercarea sa a fost remarcata si pretuita: omiliile la Levitic, ca si celelalte omilii la Hexateuh vor supravietui prin intermediul traducerilor latine, educind publicul occidental spre alegoreza.
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.
