In this classic work in patristic studies, R. P. C. Hanson elucidates the views of the third-century theologian Origen on the nature and interpretaion of Scripture. The introduction by a leading Origen scholar sets Hanson's work in its context and explores its significance to Origen scholarship.
'Hanson's Allegory and Event, was his chief work of Origen scholarship. It remains important as a book that set the tone for several generations of thinkers, and one that continues to influence popular understandings in the English-speaking world of Origen as a biblical theologian.' - John A. McGuckin, Professor of Early Church History, Union Theological Seminary and Columbia University
