Excerpt from Christianity and Anti-Christianity in Their Final Conflict The chief burden of these criticisms is that the book is pessimistic in its tone. It is said by one It does not acknowledge that there are any Christian tendencies everything in our age is antichristian. By another It adopts a pessimistic theory of history. By another: It represents the world as growing worse, rather than better. A brief examination will show how baseless is all criticism of this kind.

Excerpt from Christ and Antichrist: Or Jesus of Nazareth Proved to Be the Messiah and the Papacy Proved to Be the Antichrist Predicted in the Holy Scriptures Rescued from their visible idolatry, the next device of the great apostate was to obscure and corrupt those living oracles of God, by which Israel was to be governed. The synagogue has now taken the place of the grove, and the Rabbi that of the prophet of Baal. The word of God is now the professed object of study. Learned men are raised up, and schools of biblical literature are established. But inquiries are pursued beyond the testimony of God, and tra dition is made the interpreter of Scripture. Soon, this tradition is exalted into an authority equal, or even superior to that of the written word; while the strange spectacle is exhibited, of a people, with the law of God in their hands, yet following the doctrines and commandments of men. It was at this period, the great Deliverer appeared. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Not illustrated. 1898 edition. Excerpt: ... many bishops, but under one made ruler over all. The Church, to administer the kingdom of the Lord effectually, must have an earthly head as His representative, one clothed with His authority. This idea, gradually taking possession of the mind of the Church, found its realization in the bishop of Rome. As Christ's vicar, the sphere of his rule must be as large as that of Christ, embracing not only those within the Church, but all without it. His authority must also be higher than that of any earthly ruler, for as Christ is "the King of Kings and Lord of Lords," so must be His vicar. This claim of the Roman bishop was, indeed, in some parts of the Church, long and strenuously resisted, and especially by kings and princes; but, nevertheless, a large part of Christendom early saw in him the earthly head of the Church, holding his place by Divine appointment. Fourthly, Still another consequence of this change of belief was the practical denial of the power of Satan as "the prince of this world." The Church could not deny his existence, for it had been most clearly testified to by the Lord, and afterward by the Apostles. Nor could it be said that his power had been overthrown, and that he was no longer to be feared. St. Paul had called him "the god of this world" (2 Cor. iv, 4), and St. John had said: "The world lieth in the wicked one." (1 John v, 19, R. V.) In the Revelation (xii, 3 --) he appears under the symbol of the dragon as the active enemy of God and of His Christ, and this down to the overthrow of the Antichrist, and till he himself is bound. (Rev. xix, 20--.) But notwithstanding these explicit declarations, and the continued recognition of various forms of Satanic activity as regards individuals, the Church early began to say: ...

Here is a book so contemporary in its message, so accurate in its estimation of the present age, that one incredulously learns this work was authored in 1898. Of course, there is only one explanation -- Samuel J. Andrews knew the timeless and inerrant Word of God. Christianity and Anti-Christianity is essential reading for those who seek to better understand the past, the present, and the future of world conflict. There is no sensationalism here -- just authoritative objectivity. The perplexing events of our time are made clear when examined in the light of the Scripture. There is order in the disorder; there is supernatural warfare directing the struggle between the nations; there will be a Victor and the vanquished. Apart from an understanding of this supernatural conflict, it is not possible for the Christian to intelligently evaluate his responsibility and act upon it. The Bob Jones University Press reprints this volume as an aid for all those who desire to rightly divide the Word of Truth. - Jacket.
