Reviews / Votes
'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 UniversityMore details
