Victorinus

This episode presents two works by Victorinus, Bishop of Petau, in modern-day Ptuj in Slovenia. While we do not know when he was born or when he wrote, he died a martyr during Diocletian’s persecution in A.D. 304. These two surviving works are interesting because they highlight how the Early Church viewed both the beginning of the world recounted in Genesis and the end of the world detailed in Revelation.
