You will clearly notice how everywhere in these writings, up to the “Shepherd of Hermas,” the craving comes to the fore to depict the Old Testament intellectually, in this case interpreting it allegorically, therefore it is pulled out of a real encounter to a mere concept, into what is, so to say, intellectual.
