Regnum Kylorum: Patterns of Millennial Thought in Early Christianity

Charles E. Hill's Regnum Kylorum traces the development and varieties of millennial thought among early Christian authors, challenging simplistic claims about universal chiliasm in the church fathers.

The book analyzes theological, historical, and exegetical factors that shaped early Christian eschatologies, distinguishing different patterns and tendencies.

Hill engages both primary patristic texts and modern scholarship to demonstrate the diversity of early views on the millennium.

His work clarifies misconceptions about the uniformity of early millennial expectations and offers nuanced readings of key figures.

The study contributes to scholarly discussions on how ancient eschatological expectations inform later theological developments.
