The Death of the Gods
Dmitry Merezhkovsky
Read by LibriVox Volunteers
As attested in 1 John 2:18-19 there have been antichrists since early in the Christian Era. And that label has been applied since then to numerous sects, denominations and individuals by their detractors. Dmitri MĂ©rejkowski explores the theme of Christ and Antichrist in his trilogy which focuses on three prominent historical figures: the Roman emperor Julian, the âRenaissance manâ Leonardo da Vinci and Tsar Peter I of Russia.
Born Flavius Claudius Julianus, the emperor Julian came to be known as âJulian the Apostateâ, especially by Christians. This nephew of âConstantine the Greatâ sought to reverse the transition to Christianity as the official religion of the Roman Empire; a transition that was set in motion by his uncle. He is the subject of the first book, The Death of the Gods, in MĂ©rejkowskiâs trilogy. (Summary by Brian Fullen) (0 hr 6 min)
