The First Apocryphal Apocalypse of John (1AAJn) originated somewhere between the fifth and eighth centuries. Its vocabulary is very similar to the New Testament and has several similarities with the canonical book of Revelation. As it consists largely a dialogue between the apostle John and the glorified Jesus, it provides clarification and further revelation of the eschaton.

Because the Greek vocabulary of 1AAJn is similar to the Greek New Testament, it can provide the student of New Testament Greek reading experience outside of the New Testament with familiar vocabulary. Each word that occurs 30 times or less in the Greek New Testament is footnoted in this edition and given lexical information, part of speech information, and a contextual gloss.

This volume also includes:

• The Greek text from Tischendorf
• A lightly modernized edition of Alexander Walker's translation from the Ante Nicene Fathers (ANF) volume 9
• A Greek-English glossary of all footnoted words
