The Christ, the Antichrist and the Church

Theodore Austin-Sparks (1888–1971) was a British evangelist and author. Born in London, he became a Christian at seventeen while listening to street-preachers in Glasgow, and was ordained a Baptist minister at twenty-four. In 1926 he left the denomination and, with like-minded Christians, founded a conference and training centre at Honor Oak in south-east London. From there he published the free magazine "A Witness and A Testimony" until his death, and his conference ministry took him across Europe, North America and Asia. He asked that his messages be shared freely and word for word. Source: Wikipedia (summarized; CC BY-SA)

About this book

“The Christ, the Antichrist and the Church” sets the rights of God against Satan’s bid for worship, tracing the contrast through Christ, Antichrist, and the Church as God’s new creation. Opening with passages from Colossians, Hebrews, Ephesians, John, and Thessalonians, Austin-Sparks calls the Church to function as a worshipping body, wholly given to God’s pleasure and will. First published in "A Witness and A Testimony" magazines, 1939.
