Exploring the perspectives of patristic exegetes on the New Testament and the Bible, this book delves into the parallels between ancient interpretations and modern methods. It highlights the significance of historical criticism in understanding these early theological approaches, suggesting that while much has been studied about exegetical methods, the historical context and its implications remain less examined. The work aims to bridge this gap, offering insights into how early Church Fathers engaged with scriptural texts and their relevance today.

The book delves into the allegorical methods of biblical interpretation used by early Church Fathers, particularly Origen. It begins by exploring the evolution of Greek interpretative theories, then analyzes how Hellenistic and Jewish writers, along with the New Testament, approached the Old Testament. The discussion culminates in an examination of the exegesis techniques of Clement of Alexandria and Origen, highlighting a peak in allegorization. Dr. Grant also draws intriguing parallels between these ancient practices and contemporary interpretative trends.
