{"product_id":"9780860919971","title":"Antichrist in Seventeenth-Century England","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn the centuries following the Reformation, Antichrist-the biblical Beast, whose coming was to precede the end of the world and the coming of Christ's kingdom-was an intensely real figure. The debate raged as to who this Antichrist, whose downfall was now at hand, might be. Was he the Pope? Bishops? A state church? The monarchy? Or was it just a term of abuse to be hurled at anybody one disliked?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eChristopher Hill, one of Britain's most distinguished historians, here reconstructs the significance of Antichrist during the revolutionary crises of the early seventeenth century. Radical Protestant sects applied the term-a name synonymous with repression and persecution-to those Establishment institutions of which they disapproved; in particular, the Pope. Then, with that revolution in thought which resulted in the separation of religion from politics, the figure of Antichrist lost its significance.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Verso Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48253273309419,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":36.53,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0758\/4484\/5803\/files\/9780860919971-1.jpg?v=1781644531","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.sg\/ja\/products\/9780860919971","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Singapore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
