As with other volumes in the ACCS series, there is a helpful introduction and biographical sketches at the end. The book of Revelation is broken down into sections with an overview of patristic commentary on each and then selected comments for each verse.
Most of the frequently cited commentators are now available in full in the Ancient Christian Texts series: Victorinus of Petovium, Apringius of Beja, Caesarius of Arles, and Bede in one, and Oecumenius and Andrew of Caesarea in another. If those volumes are also consulted, the value of this work falls off a bit, but still proves useful with many comments from Primasius and Tyconius. Augustine, Origen, and Jerome are also cited consistently, as well as a few scattered quotations from Irenaeus, Tertullian, Cyprian, Ambrose, Fulgentius of Ruspe, and a few other patristic authors.
The comments reflect an overwhelmingly typological perspective, thanks to the influence of Tyconius, Augustine, and Primasius; therefore, the church and her battle with heretics features prominently, and as many Christological and ecclesiastical readings are made as can be found in the text. Therefore, this volume has great benefit in terms of the history of interpretation of Revelation, but the reader will be disappointed if he or she looks to it in order to find the magical key that will unlock the real meaning of Revelation.… (mais)
