This volume focuses on how two hypothetical ancient hearer-constructs, with very different \"mental libraries\", may interpret the rich cosmological imagery of Revelation 9. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\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.","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing PLC","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45084148105367,"sku":"9780567222169","price":4985.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780567222169.webp?v=1767142706","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/hearing-at-the-boundaries-of-vision-education-informing-cosmology-in-revelation-9-9780567222169","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
