Descriere completă

When patristic writers used the Revelation to John, §they did not so much exegete the text as they used §interpretations of its images to open up the meaning §of Scripture and to understand their doctrinal §concerns and ecclesial context. This work §demonstrates this with the three sets of images most §cited in the patristic period: the scroll, lion, and §lamb (Rev 5); the woman, child, and dragon (Rev 12); §and the binding of Satan, final judgment, millennial §reign and New Jerusalem (Rev 20-21). Patristic use §of Rev 5 expressed a Christological understanding of §Scripture: Christ was the key to understand all of §Scripture, and Christ was revealed in all of §Scripture. Their use of Rev 12 reflected a belief §that conflict with Christ and his followers has §existed since the beginning, especially in the §presence of the Adversary, Satan. The patristic use §of Rev 20-21 provided two different responses as to §how that cosmic conflict would be resolved. First, §the conflict is resolved in history, as God would §destroy all that would oppose God. Second, the §conflict is spiritualized, so that it is resolved §within the soul or within heaven.
