在耶佛對話中，耶佛間的跨宗教經典詮釋已有不少的實踐，不過對其方法論的探討尚少。本文試圖探索亞歷山大的奧利金的寓意釋經法對當代耶佛間跨宗教經典詮釋的借鑑意義，旨在為當代耶佛間跨宗教經典詮釋的方法提供新的思考點和助益。文章第一部分集中分析奧利金在《論首要原理》中對寓意釋經的理論性論述，並從《論首要原理》和《駁塞爾修斯》中舉例說明奧利金以寓意釋經應對多宗教的處境進行護教，以此說明他的寓意釋經具有一定的「宗教對話性」，這可為當代耶佛間跨宗教經典詮釋提供參考。這構成本文兩部分的內在聯繫。為此，文章第二部分結合當代耶佛間跨宗教經典詮釋的新近成果，尤其通過約翰．基南（John Keenan）的以佛釋《馬爾谷福音》和佩里．施密特-裡克爾（Perry Schmidt-Leukel）的以耶釋《入菩提行論》為典例分析兩者的釋經如何反映寓意釋經的精神，進而探索寓意釋經法在當代耶佛間跨宗教經典詮釋中的作用及適用性：首先，奧利金的寓意釋經在護教的同時吸納希臘哲學以建構其神學和釋經體系，這能為當代學者吸收佛教思想資源詮釋《聖經》提供方法論支援，豐富基督宗教的釋經傳統。再者，寓意釋經法在運用於耶佛間跨宗教經典詮釋時能對宗教經典作出屬靈和智慧性解讀，從而提升釋經者的屬靈生命。另外，以寓意釋經為跨耶佛經典詮釋的指導方法，能避免因耶佛間教義的差異而執持「文字主義」傾向，從而造就具建設性的宗教交談。文章最後亦指出奧利金的寓意釋經法適用性的若干局限。

In the field of Christian-Buddhist dialogue, there is still little discussion on the methodology of Christian-Buddhist interreligious scriptural hermeneutics. This article attempts to explore the potential usefulness and insights offered by Origen’s allegorical interpretation of scripture for contemporary Christian-Buddhist interreligious scriptural hermeneutics. The first part of this article focuses on Origen’s theoretical exposition of allegorical interpretation as seen in On First Principles. Additionally, passages from the works On First Principles and Against Celsus demonstrate that Origen makes use of allegorical interpretation in order to propose his apologetics in a multi-religious situation, which means that his allegorical interpretation is, in a sense, interreligious. This point can be further elaborated, so as to reveal how Origen’s allegorical interpretation may inspire Christian-Buddhist interreligious scriptural hermeneutics. Through referring to John Keenan’s and Perry Schmidt-Leukel’s recent works, the second part of the article explains how their Christian-Buddhist interreligious scriptural hermeneutics reflect the method of allegorical interpretation, so as to analyze the applicability of allegorical interpretation in Christian-Buddhist interreligious scriptural hermeneutics. Allegorical interpretation not only legitimizes Buddhist interpretation of Christian scriptures, but also provides spiritual and intellectual interpretation of religious scriptures, thus enriching Christian scriptural hermeneutics, and enhancing the spiritual life of the exegete. In addition, the method can avoid “literalist” tendencies among different religions, thus fostering constructive interreligious dialogue. The article also points several limitations concerning the applicability of Origen’s allegorical interpretation.
