Abstract
Abstract The purpose of this article is to provide a survey of the interpretation of Revelation 19–21 in the early North African Christian communities (II–III century). These chapters refer to one of the most controversial passages of John’s Apocalypse (the eschatological war, the millennial kingdom, and the descent of the New Jerusalem). After a brief methodological reflection, the article will investigate how these chapters were interpreted not only in the early Latin authors but also how this material was employed in martyrdom accounts as well. The study, in fact, will begin with the first Latin document of Christian literature, the Acta Martyrum Scilitanorum, followed by the corpus of Tertullian, the Passio Sanctarum Perpetuae et Felicitatis, and the writings of Cyprian.
摘要:本文的目的是对早期北非基督教团体(II-III世纪)对启示录19-21章的解释进行调查。这些章节指的是约翰启示录中最具争议的段落之一(末世战争、千年王国和新耶路撒冷的降临)。在一个简短的方法论反思之后，文章将调查这些章节不仅在早期拉丁作者中是如何被解释的，而且这些材料是如何在殉道的叙述中被使用的。事实上，这项研究将从基督教文学的第一份拉丁文献《殉道者学报》(Acta Martyrum Scilitanorum)开始，接着是《德尔图良文集》(corpus of Tertullian)、《永恒神圣的受难》(Passio Sanctarum Perpetuae et Felicitatis)和塞浦路斯(Cyprian)的著作。
