In this study, Irene Backus examines the fate of the Apocalypse at the hands of early Protestants in three centres of the Reformation: Geneva, Zurich, and Wittenberg. To do so, Backus systematically investigates sources and methods of the most important reformed and Lutheran commentaries of the Apocalypse from 1528-1584.
Reviews
The work is executed with meticulous scholarship, as one would expect from Irena Backus, and is a very worthy companion to Richard Bauckham's Tudor Apocalypse. * Journal of Ecclesiastical History *
A valuable work of reference ... Backus has made a great deal of intriguing and obscure information easily accessible. * Reformation *
This is a thorough, detailed, and valuable analysis of a field which has until now received little attention. * Journal of Theological Studies *
There is much value in this book in that it includes material that has far too long lain undisturbed some way off from the well-beaten track. * tbr (theological book review, Feed The Minds) *
Masterful treatment of the subject. * Sixteenth Century Journal *
