Working from the Elizabethan English translation of John Daye of Aldersgate, Timothy Matthew Slemmons brings forward here the first 22 of Bullinger's 101 Sermons on the Apocalypse, those dealing with the first of John's seven visions (Revelation 1—3), offering a far more readable, updated English (as the frequent footnotes will reveal), and drawing on the Latin original to improve upon the most obscure passages.
Here the reader will be treated to a history of the interpretation of the Revelation to John in Bullinger's Preface; an outline of the Apocalypse in the first (introductory) sermon; and repeated affirmations of Christ's simultaneous presence, both enthroned in glory and governing the church on earth; the universal applicability of the seven letters, with all their commendations and condemnations, to the pastors of the seven churches in Asia, to the churches themselves, and to all Christian congregations in the temporal sphere; Christ's prescriptive medicines for healing and repairing the church, and much more.
