RT Book T1 Book of seven seals: the peculiarity of revelation, its manuscripts, attestation, and transmission T2 Wissenschaftliche Untersuchungen zum Neuen Testament JF Wissenschaftliche Untersuchungen zum Neuen Testament A2 Kraus, Thomas J. 1965- A2 Sommer, Michael 1984- LA English LA German PP Tübingen PB Mohr Siebeck YR 2016 UL https://www.ixtheo.de/Record/835931544 AB The Book of Revelation is a peculiar text whose special status in early Christianity is manifested by its manuscript attestation, transmission, literary references and discussions among early Church writers. This special status forms the nucleus of these collected essays and is highlighted from various perspectives. Nowadays of course, the Apocalypse has become a treasure trove of famous motifs for artists, composers, poets and novelists. On the other hand, however, it also appears to be something of a bon mot in that its manuscript tradition is rather sparse and highly distinctive. With the help of single phenomena that revolve around the extraordinary attestation and transmission of Revelation, the authors here are able to unveil how its peculiarity was perceived in early Christianity. Its manifestation in manuscripts and in the lively controversy about its value and orthodoxy thus resulted in it being treated as unique. - book flap NO Literaturangaben CN BS2825.53 SN 3161527410 SN 9783161527418 K1 Bible : Revelation : Criticism, interpretation, etc K1 Bibel : Offenbarung des Johannes K1 Aufsatzsammlung K1 Rezeption K1 Textgeschichte K1 Handschrift K1 Konferenzschrift : 2011 : Lausanne
