This volume focuses on how two hypothetical ancient hearer-constructs, with very different \"mental libraries\", may interpret the rich cosmological imagery of Revelation 9.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe first, ancient hearer-construct (HC1), the recipient of a minimal literary education, retains a Homeric cosmological model. The second ancient hearer-construct (HC2), by contrast, utilises a tertiary-level knowledge of Aratus and Plato to allegorically reinterpret the cosmological imagery of Rev 9 (cf. 'Hippolytus', Refutatio IV.46-50). The volume concludes by critically comparing the hypothetical responses of HC1 and HC2 with the early reception of Revelation 9 by Victorinus, Tyconius and Oecumenius (3rd-6th century CE), attentive to the educational attainment of each commentator.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReview(s):\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN:  9780567222169\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ","brand":"T\u0026T Clark","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":40628003143886,"sku":"9780567222169","price":46.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0600\/7029\/7806\/products\/getimage_88b80934-28d3-4905-8f77-bfb388650853.jpg?v=1638754085","url":"https:\/\/pickwickbookshop.com\/products\/9780567222169","provider":"Pickwick Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
