Against Heresies continues, with a chapter on the Devil and Daniel Webst… er, Political Science. These chapters describe how, since power does not derive from the Devil or anybody else, all political leaders are, in a sense, ordained by God. (Sometimes ordained to be a PITA.) It also describes how Antichrist was prophesied both in Daniel and the Book of Revelation, and openly interprets this to mean that the Roman Empire is ultimately doomed to fall. Bound to make a hit with your favorite imperial official — especially if he’s a Christian!
