In "Antichrist; Papal, Protestant, and Infidel, an Estimate of the Religion of the Times," John Riland presents a detailed examination of the concept of the Antichrist as it relates to various forms of religious and anti-religious thought. This historical work, originally published in 1828, delves into the origins and characteristics of the Roman Catholic system, arguing for its connection to broader trends within nominal Christianity and its antithetical relationship to true Christian faith.

Riland's analysis provides a view of the theological and historical landscape of his time, exploring the perceived threats to orthodox Christianity from both within and without. The book offers a perspective on the debates and concerns surrounding religious authority, interpretation, and the nature of true belief in the early 19th century. It serves as a valuable resource for understanding the historical context of theological discourse and the ongoing dialogue about the nature of religious institutions and individual faith.
