Samuel James Andrews' fascinating analysis of the long conflict between good and evil and order and chaos in the Christian church is a poignant, riveting investigation of Christianity across the ages. The author's guiding belief is that behind the scenes of the everyday world, there rages a great conflict between the forces of Christianity, and the evil and chaotic forces which have opposed it since the beginning of time. Gathering evidence to support this claim, Samuel James Andrews traverses the Old and New Testaments of the Bible, the collective teachings of the Apostles, and the life and actions of St. Paul and other early Christians. Writing at the conclusion of the nineteenth century, Andrews identifies a number of contemporary phenomena which he believes act - knowingly or unwittingly - on behalf of Anti-Christian forces.
