Commentary on the Apocalypse of the Blessed John
'Commentary on the Apocalypse of the Blessed John' Summary
Victorinus of Pettau's commentary on the Apocalypse of John is a significant work in the history of Christian exegesis. Composed around 260 AD, it represents one of the earliest surviving commentaries on the biblical book of Revelation. While only fragments of the commentary have survived, they offer valuable insights into the early Christian understanding of the Apocalypse and its eschatological themes. Victorinus's commentary is characterized by its allegorical approach. He believed that the Apocalypse contained hidden meanings that could be unlocked through careful interpretation. He saw the book as consisting of various subdivisions that run parallel with each other, the main theme of which is the coming Second Advent. Victorinus's 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.Book Details
