    Supports→Origen, even in defending universal restoration, acknowledged 'unquenchable' implied a divinely sustained process, confirming the term carries durational weight independent of OT annihilationist contexts.

    Origen's exegetical method required reconciling biblical language with philosophical coherence, making his acknowledgment of 'unquenchable' durational weight textually significant.

    Key Terms

    Exegetical method(describing Origen's approach to understanding scripture)
    A systematic way of interpreting and explaining the meaning of a text, especially religious texts like the Bible, by carefully analyzing what the words and passages mean.
    Origen
    Origen was an early Christian scholar and theologian (around 185-254 CE) who lived in Alexandria, Egypt and became one of the most influential thinkers in Christian history. He wrote extensively about biblical interpretation, theology, and spirituality, and developed methods for understanding the deeper spiritual meanings in religious texts. He matters because his ideas shaped how Christians understood their faith for centuries, though some of his more controversial teachings were later disputed by the Church.
    Philosophical coherence(what Origen wanted to achieve when interpreting the Bible)
    When ideas fit together logically without contradicting each other, making a complete and sensible system of thought.
    Reconciling(what Sadra is doing between two philosophical approaches)
