Antichrist: two thousand years of the human fascination with evil

Abstract

In the spirit of Karen Armstrong's A History of God comes a timely and sweeping exploration of human obsession with evil. Tracing the Antichrist concept from its Judeo-Christian origins to today, a Christian historian examines how this apocalyptic adversary has haunted the popular imagination in the form of individuals and groups that are perceived as grave social threats.
