abstract = "The article examines the role of the figure of the Antichrist in Danish Protestant culture. More specifically it analyses the verse drama Antikrist (Antichrist) by the Danish pastor and writer P. E. Benzon, published in 1907, Rued Langgaard's opera Antikrist, composed between 1920 and 1930, and Lars von Trier{\textquoteright}s movie Antichrist from 2009. The main aim of the analysis is, on the one hand, to clarify the way the Antichrist is connected with the concept of sin, and, on the other, to show to what extent this understanding of sin is associated with a specific aesthetic of seduction. The thesis, on which the analysis is based, is that the figure of the Antichrist is closely associated with Catholic imagery, because Catholicism, just like the Antichrist, is perceived as so visually diverse and powerful that it cannot be grasped rationally. And because it cannot be grasped rationally, it is both seductive and frightening",
