Beschrijving

Published posthumously in 1692, John Bunyan's Of Antichrist and His Ruin explains the concept of the Antichrist as the adversary of Christ. Disguised in a noble fashion, the Antichrist specifically targets the teachings of the church and aims to make it seem tyrannical. Bunyan elucidates the reasons for the advent of Antichrist into the world, the causes of the ruin of Antichris,t and how God will defeat and annihilate him.
   John Bunyan, author of the great Christian allegory Pilgrim's Progress, was born into a tinker family. As a youth, he was tormented by fits of depression, dreams of fiends trying to fly away with him, and voices telling him to "sell Christ." He joined and preached to a Baptist society in Bedford, for which he was arrested and jailed for nearly 12 years. While in prison he wrote Grace Abounding to the Chief of Sinners and began his allegorical masterpiece.
