The First Apocryphal Apocalypse of John dates from between the fifth and eighth centuries and offers a unique expansion on themes found in the canonical book of Revelation. Presented largely as a dialogue between the apostle John and the glorified Jesus, it explores eschatological revelations and interpretations within early Christian thought.

With vocabulary closely aligned to the New Testament Greek, this reader provides learners with authentic but accessible material to expand their reading skills. Each less-common word-defined here as occurring 30 times or fewer in the Greek New Testament-is carefully annotated with lexical and grammatical information to aid comprehension.

This edition includes Tischendorf's Greek text, a lightly modernized English translation from Alexander Walker's Ante-Nicene Fathers (ANF) Volume 9, and a comprehensive Greek-English glossary of all annotated vocabulary.

Perfect for students and scholars seeking to deepen their engagement with early Christian apocalyptic literature through the original language.
