The Revelation to John-with its vivid images and portraits of
conflict leading up to the formation of a new heaven and a new
earth-was widely read, even as it was variously interpreted in the
early church. Approaches to its interpretation ranged from the
millenarian approach of Victorinus of Petovium to the more symbolic
interpretation of Tyconius, who read Revelation in the sense of the
universal and unitary time of the church. Tyconius's Book of Rules,
deeply admired by Augustine, strongly influenced not only ongoing
interpretation of Revelation but the whole of medieval exegesis.
From early on the book of Revelation was more widely accepted in
the West than in the East. Indeed the earliest extant commentaries
on Revelation in Greek date from Oecumenius's commentary in the
sixth century, which was soon accompanied by that of Andrew of
Caesarea. Earlier Eastern fathers did, however, make reference to
Revelation in noncommentary works. This Ancient Christian
Commentary on Scripture volume draws heavily on the 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. Amid this treasure trove of early interpretation
readers will find much that appears in English translation for the
first time.
