Subordinationism or consubstantiality in Origen's Treatise on First Principles?

This article examines the Christology of Origen of Alexandria, and more specifically the question of whether the *On First Principles* defends a subordinationist position or, on the contrary, affirms the consubstantiality of the Son with the Father. The author adopts an approach of theological and textual analysis, confronting the traditional accusations of subordinationism leveled against Origen with a careful reading of his work. The study argues that the relationship between the Father and the Son in Origen is not grounded in an ontological hierarchy, but in an equality of nature. The main contribution of the article is to rehabilitate Origenian thought by showing that, far from introducing an inferiority of the Son, the *On First Principles* grounds the salvific mediation of Christ precisely in his essential equality with the Father, thereby opening to humanity access to God.
