Commentary on the apocalypse by st. Victorinus of Poetovio

The article contains information on the Apocalypse by St. Apostle John the Theologian, as well as “Commentary on the Apocalypse” by St. Victorinus of Poetovio. Following the author of the Apocalypse the exegete of Poetovio pays special attention to three kinds of the Judgment. St. Victorinus was the first to state ‘repetition theory’, according to which in the Apocalypse the same events are considered in the iterative sequence of seven seals, seven trumpets and seven chalices. “Commentary on the Apocalypse” by St. Victorinus of Poetovio gives the solution to the social and economic problems raised in the Apocalypse by St. John the Theologian. The article precedes the publication of the work’s partial translation from Latin into Russian.
