Martina Vercesi explores the interpretation of chapters 19-21 of the Book of Revelation in the Christian communities of Roman Africa from the second to the fourth century, considering historical, theological, and textual questions.
Martina Vercesi explores the history of interpretation of one of the most disputed passages of the Book of Revelation, chapters 19-21, within the early Christian communities of Roman Africa from the second to the end of the fourth century. Analysing the reception and exegesis of these chapters, the author examines a variety of sources, including letters, treatises, commentaries, and martyrological texts, addressing historical, theological, and textual questions. Beginning with the analysis of the Acta Martyrum Scillitanorum , she provides a comprehensive account of the exegesis of Revelation 19-21, offering insights into how early Christians actively engaged with the Book of Revelation and how these chapters influenced the eschatological thoughts of the early Christian communities.
