Claire Hall is an Examination Fellow at All Souls College, Oxford. She completed a DPhil in Theology in Oxford in 2019, and before that she did an MPhil in Classics (2015) and a BA in Classics (2014), both in Cambridge. She works on religious and scientific knowledge of the future in Greek antiquity, including in pagan, Jewish, and Christian writers, mostly in the first few centuries AD.

• Introduction 1: Defining Prophecy 2: Exegesis 3: Fate and Foreknowledge in Greek Philosophy 4: Origen on Freedom and Foreknowledge 5: Ecstasy, Virtue, and Authority 6: Virtuous Prophets 7: Marcionites, Early Christians, and Knowledge of God 8: Scripture, Prophecy, and Knowledge of Christ in Origen 9: Conclusion

In Hall's treatment, prophecy emerges as a fruitful entry into such significant themes in Origen as providence, free will, epistemology, and divine inspiration; her thoughtful and balanced explorations of these topics will benefit readers who range, as Origen would say, from the simple to the mature.
