The figure of the Antichrist is likewise an echo chamber of the holiness from which both collective and individual derivations and legitimations for violent actions were and have been drawn. In recent studies, the saint and holiness in their various manifestations on the daily (ruling) routine have gained significant momentum. The hereby profiled discourse of saints would yet be incomplete if one did not consider the unholy and therefore regard the contrasting-profiling and the Antichrist metonymically tangible contrast, respectively. In this sense, the present volume combines not only examples of in-depth analysis and transcultural perspectives but also sets marks for further methodological research instruments.
