This translation is evidently free of the biases of Origen's 6th century detractors who have suggested to translators through the modern era that Origen is responsible for certain heretical positions which no extant manuscript of his seem to possess (thus these translators have inserted these errors into their translations). John Behr's translation is faithful to the surviving transcriptions which are free of these mistakes, though they are later transcriptions than the sparse Greek texts.

Anyway, all of theology and biblical study is owed to Origen, so let's make him more accessible to readership.
