1873 L'Antechrist
What Our Customers Say...
Description
Early Edition, Leather Binding
Second Edition. Though complete in itself this book belongs to a seven-volume series on the History of the Origins of Christianity, of which L'Antichrist is volume four. Joseph Ernest Renan (French: 28 February 1823 – 2 October 1892[1]) was a French expert of Middle East ancient languages and civilisations, philosopher and writer, devoted to his native province of Brittany. He is best known for his influential historical works on early Christianity and his political theories, especially concerning nationalism and national identity. The Antichrist tells the story of Christianity from a few years after the crucifixion up to the fall of jerusalem in AD 70. Much of the book concerns the persecution of early Christians by Nero, to whom the label Antichrist applies. Renan's historical account reflects his background in 19th century German criticism.
