The debate among Christians continues to rage: Exactly where will the Antichrist come from? And to what religion will he belong? Over the last ten years, an increasing number of pastors and prophecy experts have abandoned their support for the traditional "Roman Antichrist" view and are now promoting the Islamic Antichrist Theory. The Beast of the Apocalypse, they now say, will rise out of Islam-somewhere in the Middle East-and he will conquer the world with a vast army of unstoppable Muslim warriors. In support of this conjecture, proponents of the Islamic Antichrist Theory point to several pertinent facts. For example:?The Bible repeatedly refers to the Antichrist by Arabic titles, such as King of Babylon, King of Tyre, the Assyrian, etc.?In agreement with Revelation 20:4, Islam requires the beheading of those who will not submit to their leader's authority.?The Greek letters for 666-according to some experts-actually stand for: "In the name of Allah, we will make war."Yet despite all these "facts," the Bible clearly states that the Antichrist's homeland lies to the northwest of Israel-a region completely devoid of Arabic nations. Indeed, the principle of divine retribution requires that God take vengeance on a Roman Caesar, as payment for Rome's execution of Jesus in 32 A.D. and its destruction of Jerusalem a short time later. Here, in The Islamic Antichrist Myth, Charles K. Bassett examines fifteen of the most popular arguments in support of the Islamic Antichrist Theory, and patiently explains why each one is wrong. Once this myth is dispelled, says Bassett, the only logical conclusion is that the Antichrist must be a "Roman," and he must come out of Europe.

The thesis of this book is that the Antichrist will attempt to present himself as the Jewish Messiah, that he will try his best to appear as if he is instituting what Jewish believers know as the Messianic Age and what Christians know as the Millennial reign. This book will show that much of what we know about the Antichrist points to the conclusion that his goal is to deceive the world into believing that the Messiah has come, that the Messiah is, in fact, God, and that he deserves the worship of the world. His destruction of the enemies of Israel in Daniel 11:40-45, his seven-year covenant, his rebuilding of the temple and starting the daily sacrifice, his eventual ending of the sacrifices and sitting in the temple to accept worship, his making Jerusalem the capital of the world, even his promotion by the False Prophet (who, this book argues, will claim to be Elijah) all support this position. This view will be presented in great detail and special attention is also given to objections to it. This book also argues that the little-known eschatological (end-time) beliefs of the Jewish theologians, according to the Talmud and other rabbinic writings, seem to encourage Jews to accept as Messiah a man with the exact characteristics of the Antichrist. Correlating to this view, we will present evidence that Islamic beliefs about the end times, as related in the Quran and the hadiths (the sayings of Muhammad), will cause them to play a very important role in the Antichrist's rise to power. this view is the earliest view of the church, it has been almost totally forgotten in recent years. If it is true, it would mean the deception of Satan in the end times will be far more potent that many of us have ever imagined.

The doctrine of the Antichrist is one of the most interesting doctrines found in Scripture, says author Kim Riddlebarger. Unfortunately, it's also one which has been subject to far more speculation than sound biblical exegesis. Until now. Unlike other resources available on the Antichrist, The Man of Sin focuses on Scripture, not contemporary events, to uncover the truth about this mysterious entity. With skilled exegesis Riddlebarger asserts that, contrary to popular speculation, the Antichrist is not a singular individual but a series of beings that will arise to challenge Christ throughout the inter-advental age before culminating in an end-times Antichrist. Backing this claim first in Scripture, Riddlebarger also draws from historical teachings including those of the church fathers, the Reformation, and historic Protestantism, before contrasting this evidence to the sensational interpretations of many contemporary writers. Pastors, teachers, and study groups wanting to understand the doctrine of the Antichrist will find The Man of Sin to be a unique and comprehensive study.

The Catholic "thing" - the concrete historical reality of Catholicism as a presence in human history - is the richest cultural tradition in the world. It values both faith and reason, and therefore has a great deal to say about politics and economics, war and peace, manners and morals, children and families, careers and vocations, and many other perennial and contemporary questions. In addition, it has inspired some of the greatest art, music, and architecture, while offering unparalleled human solidarity to tens of millions through hospitals, soup kitchens, schools, universities, and relief services. This volume brings together some of the very best commentary on a wide range of recent events and controversies by some of the very best Catholic writers in the English language: Ralph McInerny, Michael Novak, Fr. James V. Schall, Hadley Arkes, Robert Royal, Anthony Esolen, Brad Miner, George Marlin, David Warren, Austin Ruse, Francis Beckwith, and many others. Their contributions cover large Catholic subjects such as philosophy and theology, liturgy and Church dogma, postmodern culture, the Church and modern politics, literature, and music. But they also look into specific contemporary problems such as religious liberty, the role of Catholic officials in public life, growing moral hazards in bio-medical advances, and such like. The Catholic Thing is a virtual encyclopedia of Catholic thought about modern life.

This revival requires Divine intervention. In this short book, the author examines the prophecies in Islam about the Imam Mahdi and Second Coming of Jesus i.e. Promised Messiah. The concept of non-Ahmadi Muslims and the Ahmadiyya understanding of these prophecies in light of religious history and Quran.

How did Islam come to be considered a Christian heresy? In this book, Peter Schadler outlines the intellectual background of the Christian Near East that led John, a Christian serving in the court of the caliph in Damascus, to categorize Islam as a heresy. Schadler shows that different uses of the term heresy persisted among Christians, and then demonstrates that John’s assessment of the beliefs and practices of Muslims has been mistakenly dismissed on assumptions he was highly biased. The practices and beliefs John ascribes to Islam have analogues in the Islamic tradition, proving that John may well represent an accurate picture of Islam as he knew it in the seventh and eighth centuries in Syria and Palestine.
