A Treatise Concerning Antichrist (Divided into two books)

Downame’s massive two-part polemic dissects the papal system, identifying its historical rise, doctrinal errors and prophetic role as the ultimate adversary of Christ’s church. Written with Puritan rigour and Renaissance learning, the work marshals Scripture, patristic testimony and contemporary events to warn believers against spiritual compromise. Yet the tone is pastoral: every chapter closes with counsel on perseverance, prayer and hope in Christ’s imminent victory. Modern readers gain a panoramic view of Reformation eschatology and a model for courageous, loving controversy. 424 pp.
