Overview

This ACCS volume draws heavily on the two Greek commentaries from Oecumenius and Andrew of Caesarea to represent Eastern interpretation, while focusing on six other commentaries as primary witnesses to Western interpretation—those of Victorinus of Petovium, Tyconius, Primasius, Caesarius of Arles, Apringius of Beja and Bede the Venerable. Every effort has been made to give adequate context so that the creative use of Scripture, the theological interest and the pastoral intent can be discerned by readers today.

Top Highlights

“Writing to seven churches, John is in fact writing to all churches and to all ages, for the number seven represents the present life (Apringius, Andrew of Caesarea).” (Page 1)

“Then, as a reward for their genuineness to him, he promises that many on the Jewish registry will come to her and accept the faith in Christ. For this is what it means for them to worship at her feet, namely, in the last days to choose to be enrolled in the church, that is, to be a part of the church.” (Page 45)

“Every day, Christ stands at the door of our hearts. He longs to enter. Let us open wide our hearts to him. Then he will come in and be our host and guest. He will live in us and eat with us.” (Page 54)

“Although nowhere in the Revelation is this John identified with the apostle and evangelist John, this identification was virtually universal in the early church.” (Page xvii)

“As for this latter scroll, if one considers it materially, it surpasses all powers of thought for size and length.” (Page 346)
