This thesis has examined the idea of Antichrist, much converted in the nineteenth century, as a key to the prophetic thought of John Henry Newman, one of England's most gifted writers of Victorian prose. Using Przywara's A Newman Synthesis as a model, all of Newman's writings on Antichrist have been collated chronologically in order to trace the development of the subject in Newman's mind. In another section his principles of prophetic interpretation are outlined along with their application to his major study of patristic interpretation, Tract 83: Advent Sermoas on Antichrist published in 1838. In a concluding section, the Antichrist theme has been placed in the context of Newman's whole prophetic outlook and its significance for today.
