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.
