Guiding to a Blessed End
In this interesting and insightful work, Eugenia Scarvelis Constantinou, the leading expert on Andrew of Caesarea and the first to translate his Apocalypse commentary into any modern language, identifies an exact date for the commentary and a probable recipient. Her groundbreaking book, the first ever written about Andrew, analyzes his historical milieu, education, style, methodology, theology, eschatology, and pervasive and lasting influence. She explains the direct correlation between Andrew of Caesarea and fluctuating status of the Book of Revelation in Eastern Christianity through the centuries.

Making Christian History
Known as the “Father of Church History,” Eusebius was bishop of Caesarea in Palestine and the leading Christian scholar of his day. His Ecclesiastical History is an irreplaceable chronicle of Christianity’s early development, from its origin in Judaism, through two and a half centuries of illegality and occasional persecution, to a new era of tolerance and favor under the Emperor Constantine. In this book, Michael J. Hollerich recovers the reception of this text across time. As he shows, Eusebius adapted classical historical writing for a new “nation,” the Christians, with a distinctive theo-political vision. Eusebius’s text left its mark on Christian historical writing from late antiquity to the early modern period—across linguistic, cultural, political, and religious boundaries—until its encounter with modern historicism and postmodernism. Making Christian History demonstrates Eusebius’s vast influence throughout history, not simply in shaping Christian culture but also when falling under scrutiny as that culture has been reevaluated, reformed, and resisted over the past 1,700 years.
Greek Commentaries on Revelation
In this volume of the Ancient Christian Texts series, William Weinrich renders a particular service to readers interested in ancient commentary on the Apocalypse. He translates in one volume the only two major commentaries on Revelation to come out of the Greek tradition, the early sixth-century commentaries of Oecumenius and Andrew of Caesarea.
Against Eunomius
Basil of Caesarea is considered one of the architects of the Pro-Nicene Trinitarian doctrine adopted at the Council of Constantinople in 381, which eastern and western Christians to this day profess as ""orthodox."" Nowhere is his Trinitarian theology more clearly expressed than in his first major doctrinal work, Against Eunomius, finished in 364 or 365 CE. Responding to Eunomius, whose Apology gave renewed impetus to a tradition of starkly subordinationist Trinitarian theology that would survive for decades, Basil's Against Eunomius reflects the intense controversy raging at that time among Christians across the Mediterranean world over who God is. In this treatise, Basil attempts to articu...
The Apocalypse in the Teachings of Ancient Christianity
The Apocalypse in the Teachings of Ancient Christianity is the first complete Orthodox commentary on the book of Revelation in the English language. As the only prophetic book of the New Testament, the Revelation of St. John the Theologian is a book of deep mysteries concerning the beginning and end of all things and the ultimate purpose of the world and man. The Apocalypse examines these writings verse by verse and helps the reader interpret and understand the difficult imagery and symbolism.
Commentary on the Apocalypse
Striking a balance between the symbolic language of the book and its literal, prophetic fulfillment, Andrew?s interpretation is a remarkably intelligent, spiritual, and thoughtful commentary that encourages the pursuit of virtue and confidence in the love of God for humanity
Interpretation 12 of the Apocalypse of the Holy Apostle and Evangelist John the Evangelist
"Interpretation of the Apocalypse by the Apostle and Evangelist John the Evangelist " by St. Andrew of Caesarea is devoted to the explanation of the most mysterious book of the New Testament - the Revelation of St. John the Evangelist, which contains prophetic eschatological visions of future events preceding the end of the world: [namely] about the Antichrist, about the second coming of Christ, the Resurrection, the Last Judgment, as well as about the Kingdom of the future age. This interpretation is rightfully considered the "pearl" of patristic exegetics.
Basil of Caesarea, Gregory of Nyssa, and the Transformation of Divine Simplicity
Divine simplicity is the idea that, as the ultimate principle of the universe, God must be a non-composite unity not made up of parts or diverse attributes. Radde-Gallwitz explores how this idea was appropriated by early Christian theologians from non-Christian philosophy with particular reference to Basil of Caesarea and Gregory of Nyssa.
