How did the early Church turn into an anti-Christian, persecuting power? What steps and departures from Gospel principles led to the rise of what the apostle Paul described as the “man of sin”?
These collected Articles explore the history, teachings, and growth of the principle of self-exaltation which covered itself with the name of Christ during the past 2000 years of human history, and how this power is gathering strength again for the final battle between the kingdom of light and darkness. 734p
