Synopsis "The History of the Origins of Christianity. Book IV: Antichrist"

Rome burns. Christians face persecution. Jerusalem moves toward catastrophe as the young Church enters one of the most violent periods of its early history. In The History of the Origins of Christianity, Book IV: Antichrist, Joseph Ernest Renan follows Christianity through the turbulent reign of Nero and the gathering crisis in Judaea. He examines Paul's captivity and final activity, Peter's presence in Rome, the death of James, the Great Fire of Rome, the persecution of Christians that followed, and the traditions surrounding the deaths of Peter and Paul. Against this background, Renan portrays Nero as the terrifying figure whose cruelty helped shape early Christian ideas of the Antichrist and transformed Rome into a city forever associated with Christian martyrdom. Renan then turns eastward to the Jewish revolt, the campaigns of Vespasian, the turmoil within Jerusalem, and the apocalyptic expectations produced by an age of war and persecution. Particular attention is given to the Book of Revelation, which Renan interprets against the political and religious upheavals of the Roman world and the reign of Nero. Culminating in the destruction of Jerusalem, Antichrist is a dramatic historical study of the moment when persecution, revolution, martyrdom, and apocalyptic hope profoundly altered the course of both Christianity and Judaism.
