By Msgr. Charles Pope - Who or What Is the Antichrist? A Reflection on the Biblical Teaching... There is much lore about the antichrist (especially among certain Evangelicals) that is out of proportion to the attention Scripture pays to the concept, and more importantly is at possible variance from what is certainly taught.
