This excellent volume in the Library of Christian Classics includes an English translation of Origen's Dialogue with Heraclides, recovered in 1941. The work is important for an understanding of Alexandrian theology, and especially for Origen's Christology. Other works included in English are Clement of Alexandria's Stromateis III (On Marriage) and VII (On Spiritual Perfection) and Origen's On Prayer and Exhortation to Martyrdom. (
