Hippolytus of Rome (170 - 235 AD) wrote this treatise on the Antichrist and the end times during the early period of the Christian church, before it was an established religion. Evidence suggests that Hippolytus was a priest in Rome, although Eusebius of Caesarea and St. Jerome did not give a definite role for him in the wider church. Photios I of Constantinople names him as a disciple of Irenaeus, however many say that he was an antipope for the bishop of Rome, caught up in the debate about whether to receive back into the church those who had fallen away. He is most famous for his writings which had a great influence on the early church. The text for this work is taken from Ante-Nicene Fathers, Vol. 5. Edited by Alexander Roberts, James Donaldson, and A. Cleveland Coxe. (Buffalo, NY: Christian Literature Publishing Co., 1886), translated by JH. MacMahon (1829-1900). The footnotes and Bible references have been preserved and illustrations have been added of the Antichrist and figures from the book of Revelation.
