The methods and requirements of translation are investigated in the context of traditional Bible interpretation. The translation profiles are primarily influenced by the orthodox interpretation of the apocalypse and its transmission in sermons and by the author profile of John the Evangelist. The texts thus do not offer 'apocalyptic' reading but instead emphasize the hopeful character of the book and its didactic potential.
