Annotation

The novel begins with a critique of the Anglican church and its neglect of the poor, even among its own clergy, while the church hierarchy lives in luxury. All the saved are "raptured" from the world (see 1 Thessalonians 4: 15-17), and a dystopia is created by the Antichrist. Christ returns on the last pages.
