Michael Baigent

Racing Toward Armageddon

The Three Great Religions and the Plot to End the World

Talking Points

Michael Baigent is the author of numerous books and was moved to write this book after many years of watching the rise of fundamentalist religion in the modern world and the power of its ideas shift the centre of gravity within Judaism, Christianity and Islam outward toward the edges where tolerance and mutual understanding have become much more difficult-nearly impossible-to sustain. He has broad appeal and is a confident speaker. He has a well-earned reputation for stoking controversy and giving readers what they crave.

Description

Whether or not you believe in prophesy, the Bible as literal truth, Armageddon, the Rapture, the return of the Da’jaal or the creation of a worldwide caliphate as a harbinger of the end of time, you will, upon reading this book, ultimately believe that there are powerful forces afoot today conspiring to bring about these cataclysmic events within our lifetime.

Exposing these forces, the myths upon which many of their beliefs are based, the stealth actions they have been taking for decades, and the insidious and potentially devastating effect they are having upon the social, cultural and spiritual fabric of our society, Baigent poses the pressing question: can we really afford to remain oblivious much longer?
