Description

The Antichrist: A New Biography by Philip C. Almond explores the enduring figure of the Antichrist in theology, literature and history. From his early beginnings to the present day, this biography delves into the origins of the malevolent being who has been cursed as Belial, Nero or Damien, and examines how Christianity has imagined this incarnation of absolute evil destined for a final showdown. The author reveals how the human battle between right and wrong has been envisaged as a cosmic duel between good and its opposite, culminating in an epic confrontation between Christ and his deadly arch-nemesis. This thought-provoking study sheds new light on the complex and fascinating history of the Antichrist, making it a compelling read for anyone interested in theology, history or literature. Hardcover, 354 pages.
