Academic discourse often overlooks the concept of antichrist, viewing it as outdated or linked to religious extremism. Robert Isaac Skidmore, a depth psychotherapist and Orthodox priest, contends that antichrist represents not only a theological idea but also a critical aspect of our psychological, social, and political experiences that can become perilous when ignored. By analyzing Donald Trump's cultural and political impact as an archetypal pattern, Skidmore emphasizes the importance of acknowledging antichrist to elevate it to conscious awareness and responsible application. He urges Christians to reflect on the theological implications of antichrist as a call for self-examination regarding their commitment to truth. This exploration invites all readers, regardless of their beliefs, to recognize the archetypal dimensions of antichrist and its relevance in understanding psychological and social phenomena, as well as its potential benefits and dangers. The book is structured into sections covering the theological context, public perception, psychological and sacred dimensions, social dynamics, and a critical assessment of the concept's implications. Each section delves into various aspects of antichrist, examining its significance in both individual and collective experiences.
