- This book, the long-form output of three years’ research, questions the assumption (widely taken for granted in New Testament Studies) that biblical writers identified Nero as the Antichrist. Taking its cue from the linguistic turn in historiographical studies, the book provides the first detailed assessment of the Nero-Antichrist from the perspective of ancient history. The sustained research effort represented by this volume is evidenced in its approach and its scope: exploring Nero’s reception as the Antichrist across an extensive range of texts and periods, including first-century eschatology, late-antique homily and exegesis, nineteenth-century history, fiction, and letters, and twentieth-century film.
