Description
The Antichrist Legend: A Chapter in Christian and Jewish Folklore is a book written by Wilhelm Bousset, a German theologian and scholar of religion. The book explores the history and development of the Antichrist legend in Christian and Jewish folklore, tracing its origins back to the apocalyptic literature of the Old and New Testaments.Bousset examines the various interpretations of the Antichrist legend throughout history, from early Christian writers such as Tertullian and Hippolytus to medieval and Renaissance theologians like Joachim of Fiore and Martin Luther. He also delves into the Jewish roots of the legend, exploring the concept of the ""adversary"" or ""satan"" in Jewish scripture and tradition.Throughout the book, Bousset argues that the Antichrist legend has played a significant role in shaping Christian and Jewish eschatology and apocalyptic thought, and has had a profound impact on Western culture and society. He also explores the ways in which the legend has been used to promote religious and political agendas, both in the past and in the present day.Overall, The Antichrist Legend: A Chapter in Christian and Jewish Folklore is a comprehensive and scholarly exploration of one of the most enduring and influential legends in Western culture. It is an essential read for anyone interested in the history of religion, folklore, and mythology.1896. Mr. Bousset offers an indispensable preliminary essay on the subject of the Antichrist legend. This sketch may perhaps serve to stimulate the efforts of other workers in this endlessly entangled and almost limitless field of literature, and thus promote its study and bring fresh materials to light. Also found within is a prologue on the Babylonian dragon myth and an old Armenian form of the Antichrist saga.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
