Beckwith, Apocalypse

by Georg S. Adamsen on February 7, 2008

in History of interpretation,Scholarly commentaries

Beckwith, I. T.: The Apocalypse of John. Studies in Introduction with a Critical and Exegetical Commentary. The Macmillan Company: New York 1919. Reprint. Eugene, Oregon: Wipf and Stock publishers, 2001. xv + 794 pp.

Also reprinted 1992 and by Baker Book House in 1967.

This commentary with more than 800 pages is divided in two parts: the introduction and the commentary. It is well argued on both linguistic, historical and theological issues and is – in my view – one of the more valuable English commentaries.

Isbon T. (Thaddeus) Beckwith (1843-1936), Ph.D. and D.D., was professor of Greek language and literature at Trinity College, Hartford, Connecticut (see a photo).
