Abstract
The one remaining book of the New Testament to be examined is Revelation which St Jerome says, in one of his letters, was unanimously accepted in the Greek churches of his day. Baronius made the judicious observation that what St Jerome says concerning the view of Revelation held in the Greek churches could not be entirely true, since St Epiphanius who lived at that time defended the authority of Revelation against the Alogian heretics and the Theodocians. Against those who reject Revelation as a forgery by Cerinthus, the learned bishop defends its authority in a quite judicious way. Scriptures used in all Eastern churches today state that Revelation is by St John the apostle. Lastly, the Commentaries on Revelation by the Calvinists prove that they placed it among the divine and prophetic books; were they deprived of this prophecy, they would be displeased.
