Este artículo presenta los resultados de un estudio intertextual, comparando el texto del Spe salvi de Benedicto XVI con textos publicados anteriormente por él como Joseph Ratzinger. La comparación muestra que, décadas antes de publicar Spe salvi, nuestro autor ya enunció ciertas tesis fundamentales sobre las utopías mundanas y el papel de la libertad en la diversificación de los destinos escatológicos de los seres humanos. Por otro lado, en la encíclica no desarrolla una especulación sobre la naturaleza del alma humana, como lo hace en obras más antiguas. La presencia de temas específicos en Spe salvi y la ausencia de otros parecen indicativas de las preocupaciones a largo plazo de Ratzinger/Benedicto XVI, así como del variable peso dogmático que atribuye a sus propias concepciones escatológicas.

This article studies some fundamental ideas of Origen and the Desert Fathers and Mothers regarding vocation. These authors reflect the conviction of early Christians regarding the general calling to holiness; but they also reveal how, at a second moment, a certain consideration needs to be done, as to whether to pursue the quest for holiness in the world or out of it.

The author of this chapter uses the category of narrative theology (protology to eschatology) to capture the sweep of Origen¿s theological vision and contrasts it with thematic treatments to which Origen returns again and again. In the body of works of Origen the themes of freedom and its meaning may be termed constant, underlying suppositions. Together with the idea of the human being as a creature made in God¿s image, they provide the grounds for Origen¿s dynamic anthropology. The divine image in earthly humans endows the individual with creativeness in its conduct, one not wholly unlike the divine creativity, the capacity that resides in the will, that allows one to choose between moral good and evil, and to intensify one's participation in Christ's epinoiai.

This article contrasts two groups of texts by Origen. In the first, our author shows his propensity for reading biblical journeys (e.g. Abraham¿s departure from his native land, the Israelites¿ going out of Egypt, etc.) in a `spiritual¿ way. In the second, he appears to read biblical journeys more literally, often to suggest withdrawal in a more physical sense from the secular milieu and its activities. These texts have been analysed previously by scholars; in this communication I will simply add the suggestion that the apparent discrepancy between the two groups of statements may be better understood within the context...
