(Apocalypse, note 7, p. 105, and note 9, p. 106.)
The moderation of Dionysius is hardly less
conspicuous than his fearlessness of inquiry in the questions he raises
about the Apocalypse.927 He utterly refuses to reject
it.928 He
testifies to the value set upon it by his fellow-Christians.
Only, he doubts as to (the John) the “inspired
person” who was its author, and with critical skill exposes the
inferiority of the Greek of the Apocalypse to that of the Gospel and
Epistles of St. John. Obviously he accepts it as part of the
canon, only doubting as to the author. Modestly he owns that it
passes his understanding. So Calvin forbore to comment upon it,
and owned to “headache” when he came to
it.E.C.F. INDEX & SEARCH
