Allegorical Readers and Cultural Revision in Ancient Alexandria

Describes how some ancient pagan, Jewish, and Christian interpreters used allegory to endorse, revise, and subvert competing Christian and pagan world views. This book presents three Hellenistic religious writers who each typify distinctive models of allegorical interpretation: Philo, Valentinus, and Clement.
