  • Origen: (184/185 – 253/254) a scholar and theologian of early Christian interest in Alexandria, and one of the writers regarding the early Church. As early as the fourth century, his orthodoxy was suspect, largely because he believed in the pre-existence and transmigration of souls, and apokatastasis, or universal reconciliation, ideas acknowledged to be beyond the pale of Christianity.
  • dogma: doctrine (or set of doctrines) relating to matters such as morality and faith, set forth authoritatively by a religious organization or leader.
  • On the Origin of Species (1859) a work of scientific literature by Charles Darwin which is considered to be the foundation of evolutionary biology.
  • spurious: false, not authentic, not genuine, illegitanate
  • dog-ear: folded corner of a page (as from a book or magazine, so as to mark one's place)
