This study offers a solution to the problem of conflicting data on the extent of God's saving will in the writings of an eminent sixth-century North African bishop, Fulgentius of Ruspe. It demonstrates that over time Fulgentius changed his opinion on the issue.

Fulgentius of Ruspe on the Saving Will of God: The Development of a Sixth-Century African Bishop’s Interpretation of 1 Timothy 2:4 During the Semi-Pelagian Controversy

Francis X. Gumerlock

The Edwin Mellen Press

Trying to predict the return of Christ and the end of the ages began two thousand years ago and continues to this day. Gummerlock has compiled a one-of-a-kind history of these foolhardy predictions. This fascinating chronicle of predictions will rivet the attention of any student of Bible prophecy. Regardless of your eschatological position, you must have this book. 
Gumerlock looks at date-setting from the first century to the present and beyond showing the utter futility of trying to predict when the end might come.

Published in English for the first time, these pages provide an introduction, translation, and transcription of a late-sixth century lecture on Revelation 7–12. Given in an Egyptian monastery by an unknown teacher and written in the Sahidic Coptic dialect, the lecture circulated in the name of Cyril of Alexandria (d. 444). The manuscript copy was discovered in 1910. 
Herein titled Encomium, the commentary manuscript likely derived from the scriptorium in the ancient Egyptian city of Touton. It was donated in the year 861 to the monastery of St. Michael the Archangel at Sopehes, which is today the Egyptian village of Hamuli in southwestern Fayum, though the monastery ceased operations in the early tenth century. 
The Encomium was part of a lecture series on the Apocalypse, most likely by a visiting monk, teacher, or bishop. The text is probably a transcription of the lecture by one of the hearers and the one lecturing appears to use a translation of the Book of Revelation into Sahidic Coptic. 
The extensive introduction provides readers with important historical, exegetical, and theological background for understanding this remarkable writing on the Book of Revelation and its reception in sixth-century Egypt.
