요약 : When patristic writers used the Revelation to John, they did not so much exegete the text and its images as they used interpretations of its images to open up the meaning of other Scriptural passages and to provide understanding to doctrinal concerns and to their particular ecclesial context. This usage reflects the insights of Frances Young about the hermeneutical process in the patristic period and how it "took over" Scriptural language and "made it their own," in order to generate "a way of life, grounded in the truth about the way things are, as revealed by God's Word."1 This dissertation demonstrates Young's observations by focusing on the three sets of images from Revelation most cited by the early patristic writers: the scroll, lion, and lamb from Revelation 5; the woman, child, and dragon from Revelation 12; and the binding of Satan, final judgment, millennial reign and New Jerusalem from Revelation 20-21.

요약 : When early patristic writers approached the lion, lamb and the scroll in Revelation 5, they expressed a Christological understanding of Scripture. The lamb's authority to open the scroll illustrated the patristic view that Christ was the key to understand all of Scripture and that Christ was revealed in all of Scripture. Underlying this view was the belief that a harmony of Scripture existed, but that harmony existed through the central theme and revelation of Jesus Christ. These patristic writers reveal a remarkably consistent belief reflected by and shaped by the lion/lamb's relationship to the scroll: Jesus is revealed as of one essence with God, and all of Scripture reveals the presence of Jesus. Christ is the key that reveals all of Scripture.

요약 : The images of the woman, child, and dragon from Revelation 12 reflect a belief that conflict with Christ and his followers has existed since the beginning, especially when one considers the presence of the Adversary, Satan. The overwhelming number of references to the identification of Satan as the serpent or the dragon indicates how important the patristic writers found this conflict. By placing the struggle with evil on both a cosmic and a historical level, patristic writers could then make sense of their contemporary struggle with evil. The patristic writers contextualized their struggles, by no longer perceiving their struggle against internal factions or outside factions as limited to their experience. Rather, their struggles against evil continued the age-long struggle against evil that existed in the heavens since the dawn of time.

요약 : The patristic use of the millennial reign and the New Jerusalem provided two different responses as to how that cosmic conflict would be resolved. First, patristic writers understood the conflict as resolved in history. God is in control of history, and God would destroy all that would oppose God. This is particularly apparent among those patristic writers that understood the millennial reign and the New Jerusalem as future literal realities. Second, patristic writers spiritualized the conflict, so that it would be resolved within the soul or within heaven. The spiritualization of the conflict took on two different forms. In a first form, the New Jerusalem represented the heavenly realm in which God dwells, a heavenly kingdom that impacted their present life and that they obtained fully at their death. In a second form, the millennial reign and the New Jerusalem reflected the interior life of the church and the soul. In both t
