Matthew Fox, one of our nation's most evocative theologians, argues that Christianity's great symbols, stories, and works of sacred art were never meant merely to describe evil. They were meant to train us—to see how evil disguises itself, seduces, and leaves chaos in its wake. Trump and the MAGA Movement as Antichrist begins with Fox's startling encounter inside a cathedral at Orvieto, Italy, where Luca Signorelli's monumental fresco “The Preaching and Deeds of the Antichrist” stopped him in his tracks. Without seeing the title, his first instinct was, “It feels like Donald Trump.” That moment launches an expressive exploration of how evil captivates ordinary people, glorifies power, and turns communities against themselves. Drawing on Sigmund Freud, Carl Jung, Thomas Aquinas, Meister Eckhart, and Hildegard of Bingen, Fox reveals the Antichrist as a timeless, powerful archetype for understanding how evil behaves. Illustrated with color reproductions of masterpieces by Signorelli, Fra Angelico, and Hildegard of Bingen, the book also presents Christ as the opposing archetype of compassion, truth, shared dignity, creativity, and democracy. This is a prophetic guide to discerning evil and embracing the light in our own time. Praise for Trump and MAGA Movement as Antichrist and Matthew Fox “Matthew Fox has never been afraid to reclaim the deepest treasures of the Christian tradition from those who would use them to dominate, exclude, and destroy. In Trump and the MAGA Movement as Anti-Christ, he does so again, retrieving the ancient archetype of the Anti-Christ not as an instrument of apocalyptic fear, but as a way of naming what happens when power becomes untethered from truth, compassion, justice, and reverence for life. This is a provocative book because these are times that demand moral clarity. Fox reminds us that authoritarianism is never merely a political problem. It is a spiritual crisis, revealing what we worship, what we fear, and what we are willing to sacrifice for the promise of power and security. Whether or not readers are initially comfortable with the language of “Anti-Christ,” they should wrestle seriously with the questions Fox raises. What does faithful resistance require when cruelty becomes normalized, truth becomes expendable, and Christianity itself is enlisted in service to domination? Matthew Fox has given us a fierce and necessary book for anyone seeking the courage to recognize the forces shaping our time...and to choose another way.” --Rev. Cameron Trimble, author of Searching for the Sacred "Of all the great
