The Day and the Hour
The book is a history of prophecy from around the time of Christ to even into the future a couple of thousand years. A fascinating documentary on how many times we have been wrong about the end of the world.
Carolingian Commentaries on the Apocalypse by Theodulf and Smaragdus
In the early ninth-century Theodulf of Orleans and Smaragdus of Saint Mihiel served as advisers to Charlemagne. This book provides English translations of a Latin commentary on the Apocalypse written by Theodulf and three homilies on the Apocalypse by Smaragdus. A comprehensive essay introduces these texts, their authors, sources, and place in ninth-century biblical exegesis.
Exposition of the Apocalypse
The Exposition of the Apocalypse by Tyconius of Carthage (fl. 380) was pivotal in the history of interpretation of the Book of Revelation. While expositors of the second and third centuries viewed the Apocalypse of John, or Book of Revelation, as mainly about the time of Antichrist and the end of the world, in the late fourth century Tyconius interpreted John’s visions as figurative of the struggles facing the Church throughout the entire period between the Incarnation and the Second Coming of Christ. Tyconius’s “ecclesiastical” reading of the Apocalypse was highly regarded by early medieval commentators like Caesarius of Arles, Primasius of Hadrumetum, Bede, and Beatus of Liebana, w...
Gottschalk and a Medieval Predestination Controversy
The question of predestination and its nature, which drew strong protests from the monks of Provence in the early fifth century against the teaching of Augustine of Hippo, was initially settled by the Council of Orange in 529. But in the Carolingian renaissance in the ninth century, the Benedictine monk, Gottschalk of Orbais, brought the teachings of the late Augustine to the forefront of theological debate and greatly disturbed the clergy and faithful with his doctrine of double predestination of some to the joy of heaven and of others to the eternal punishment of hell -- a doctrine that he claimed was that of Augustine and the Catholic faith. The present volume provides for the first time an English translation of Gottschalk's key writings on predestination and various reactions and comments from leading theologians of the ninth century, as well as a learned introduction to Gottschalk's life and controversies. - Publisher.
Pseudo-Cyril of Alexandria
Published in English for the first time, these pages provide an introduction, translation, and transcription of a late-sixth century lecture on Revelation 7-12. Given in an Egyptian monastery by an unknown teacher and written in the Sahidic Coptic dialect, the lecture circulated in the name of Cyril of Alexandria (d. 444). The manuscript copy was discovered in 1910. Herein titled Encomium, the commentary manuscript likely derived from the scriptorium in the ancient Egyptian city of Touton. It was donated in the year 861 to the monastery of St. Michael the Archangel at Sopehes, which is today the Egyptian village of Hamuli in southwestern Fayum, though the monastery ceased operations in the e...
The Cambridge Companion to Apocalyptic Literature
Apocalytic literature has addressed human concerns for over two millennia. This volume surveys the source texts, their reception, and relevance.
The Book of Revelation and Its Interpreters
The Book of Revelation has fired the imaginations of theologians, preachers, artists, and ordinary Christians across the centuries. The resulting number of commentaries on the book is enormous, and most studies can only touch upon, at most, a representative sample of this vast literature. As a consequence, many focus largely on the interpretation of the Apocalypse only within specific periods, such as the patristic period or during the Reformation. One result of this severe limitation given the vast literary corpus is how historical interpretations in critical commentaries of the Book of Revelations tend to prioritize authors from the modern period. In The Book of Revelation and Its Interpre...

Early Latin Commentaries on the Apocalypse
Many commentaries on the Apocalypse were produced in the early Middle Ages. This book provides translations of two Apocalypse commentaries from the seventh and eighth centuries. On the Mysteries of the Apocalypse of John is part of a large one-volume "Reference Bible" composed about 750. Written probably by an Irish teacher residing in northern France, it answers difficulties arising from the biblical text. The Handbook on the Apocalypse of the Apostle John, attributed erroneously to Jerome and written before 767, contains brief moral and allegorical interpretations of particular words and phrases of the Apocalypse. The introduction highlights the unique features of each commentary and the interrelationship of the three texts.
