{{cleanup}}{{stub}}Also spelled "Apokatastasis."
==Definition==
For [[Origen]], this explicitly included the [[devil]]. In effect, Apocatastasis apocatastasis denies the final reality of [[hell]], and interprets all Biblical references to the "fires of hell" not as an eternal punishment, but a tool of divine teaching and correction, akin to [[purgatory]]. The implication is that hell exists to separate good from evil in the soul.
