While lecturing in Orvieto, Italy, this year, Matthew Fox encountered the powerful fresco of the Antichrist painted in the Cathedral at the outset of the 16th century by Luca Signorelli. He portrays the Antichrist in the context of his day and culture. This archetype reminds us of the dark side of humanity and politics. Fox’s creative and critical eye turns it into a searing device for examining the deep stakes in the 2024 election.
Om författaren
Matthew Fox tells us that he had always shied away from using the term “antichrist” because it was so often used to spread control and fear. However, given today’s rise of authoritarianism and forces of democracide, ecocide and christofascism, he turns the tables in this book employing the archetype for the cause of justice, democracy and a renewed Earth and humanity.
From the Foreword: “If there was ever a time, a moment, for examining the archetype of the Antichrist, it is now….Read this book with an open mind. Good and evil are real forces in our world” – Caroline Myss, author of Anatomy of the Spirit and Conversations with the Divine.
From the Afterword: “Matthew Fox is our living elder statesman of the authentic Christian mystical tradition. This book may be the most important of all the great and pioneering works he has graced us with over five decades as our greatest living Christian theologian.” – Andrew Harvey, author of The Son of Man: The Mystical Path to Christ and Love Is Everything: A Year With Hadewijch of Antwerp.
