本文探讨公元2-3世纪基督教大思想家奥利金的寓意解经法。寓意解经法包含了三个层次的内涵:新经典观、护教、灵性自我的操练。这三者又统一为基督论的主题。基督论是新经典观的基础,它与希腊罗马文化的哲学实在之路区别开来,显明应该从圣经而非希腊哲学(例如柏拉图哲学)出发建立救赎论,从而批评了诺斯底主义的寓意解经法。寓意解经法又出于护教目的,回应了希腊罗马知识分子对圣经的批评,使基督徒既区别于希腊罗马人又区别于犹太人,成为第三种人。寓意解经法的目的则是教导基督徒去寻找隐藏的智慧,操练灵性的自我,就是在基督里面的自我。寓意解经法是释经方法,更是通过释经操练自我,建立自我的规范。
This paper inquires Origen's (185-c.254) Allegory. His Allegory includes three sequences: new perspective on Classics, apology and spiritual self-exercise. All these three aspects are united in his Christology. Christology is the basis of Origen's biblical perspective, it make Biblical approach differ from the road of reality that Greek-Roman philosophy elaborates, points out that Christian theology should establish its soteriology on the basis of Bible, not Greek-Roman philosophy, and criticize Gnostic exegetical method. Allegory is also the way to apology, Origen responds to Greek-Roman intellectuals' critics, and makes Christian differ from both Greek-Roman and Jew, and become the new human being or the third kind of human being. The purpose of Allegory leads Christian to seek for hidden wisdom, exercise spiritual self. Allegory is not only exegetical method, but also self-exercising and establishing self criterions through exegetics.
