I am highly interested in learning about the history of interpretation of the Bible, but I'm not really sure where to start. I'm especially interested in learning how people have historically understood the book of Revelation, and how they have understood the thornier parts of the Bible, like those that seem to condone slavery, or that have strange laws like in Leviticus. I'm curious to know, for instance, how different people argued for or against slavery based on the Bible, and what different people thought the strange imagery in Revelation meant for their times. Does anyone know of any good introductory books that deal with this topic?
