The Bible predicts that in the last days a charismatic leader will establish a global following in the name of peace. The Qur’an also predicts that a man will rise up to lead the nations, pledging to usher in an era of peace. The man in the Qur’an is called the Mahdi, or Islam’s savior. However, the man in the Bible is the Antichrist. Joel Richardson’s stunning research and analysis suggest that the Mahdi and the Antichrist are actually one and the same.

Furthermore, Christian biblical scholars also debate the degree to which contemporary interpreters of the Bible can follow the hermeneutics of the New Testament authors in using the Old Testament to point to the person and work of Jesus Christ.

Did you know that every author of the NT was a Jew (with the exception of Luke, but he was a disciple of Paul). Furthermore, the New Testament had not been compiled when letters were circulated that later became the New Testament, so the only Holy Writings available to the New Testament Jewish authors were what Christians call the Old Testament.

The chapters invite listeners to examine what they believe or determine the impact of no belief on their life’s direction. While the author discloses much of his views, it is not an attempt to convert any listener to believe as he does. Whether Christianity is true or not, there is no denying its impact on civilization.
