Commentary On The Apocalypse Of The Blessed John

Commentary on the Apocalypse of the Blessed John

by St. Victorinus of Pettau

This commentary on the Apocalypse of John, traditionally attributed to St. Victorinus of Pettau, is believed to have been composed around 260 AD, making it one of the earliest extant commentaries on the biblical book of Revelation. While only fragments of the commentary have survived, it offers valuable insights into the early Christian understanding of the Apocalypse and its eschatological themes. Victorinus employs allegorical interpretation to uncover hidden meanings within the text, focusing on key passages and their significance in relation to the Second Coming of Christ. This commentary provides a glimpse into the theological and exegetical approaches of the early Church Fathers and remains an important resource for scholars studying the history of Christian thought and biblical interpretation.
