by Eugenia Scarvelis Constantinou, PhD
The Book of Revelation, known as the Apocalypse in Greek, is often treated as a roadmap to the events of the end times. But what if the key to unlocking its meaning lies in its literary, historical, and ecclesiastical context? In The Apocalypse in the Early Church: Understanding Revelation Then & Now, Dr. Jeannie Constantinou draws back the Apocalypse’s mysterious veil to reveal the fascinating story of Revelation’s acceptance and rejection in the early Church. By exploring the unique literary style and worldview of apocalyptic literature, questions of authorship, the misuse and abuse of Revelation’s message, and its triumphant admission into the New Testament canon, readers will acquire a deeper understanding of this prophetic book from one of Orthodoxy’s most trusted biblical scholars.
About the Author: Dr. Jeannie Constantinou hosts the popular podcast Search the Scriptures Live! on Ancient Faith Radio. She wrote her doctoral dissertation on the Apocalypse in the Ancient Church of the East, especially the commentary of Andrew of Caesarea, who wrote the first Greek patristic commentary on Revelation. She also earned master’s degrees in theology from the University of San Diego, Holy Cross Greek Orthodox School of Theology, and Harvard Divinity School, specializing in patristics and New Testament. Dr. Jeannie authored The Crucifixion of the King of Glory and Thinking Orthodox, both from Ancient Faith Publishing. She is married to Fr. Costas, a Greek Orthodox priest.
