Abstract

This paper studies Origen's doctrine on "taste" as "spiritual sense" as part of his theological development of eating and/or drinking metaphors. To let know the most important effect of the "taste of Logos", namely the ontological participation in Trinitarian life, this article offers both a status quaestionis on Origenian studies on the subject of "spiritual nourishment", and a brief approach to Origen's hermeneutical framework for the use of "eating" and "drinking" metaphors in theological contexts
