edit- If Origen ... is right that God's final victory over the forces of evil and rebellion will be effected not through force and necessity but through reason and wisdom, then the possibility for a real synergy between man's efforts and God's will becomes feasible and even probable. To posit wisdom as God's chief tool for subjecting the universe is tantamount to suggesting that God will accomplish his plan on earth by appealing—in a very Platonic manner—to our reason through a sort of divine rhetoric rather than by terrifying our bodies through the force of his divine wrath.
