Ironically, before I wrote this book I was a devout Orthodox Christian. But the more I studied the more I realized I believed in a lie. And this is the subject of my book: to expose a part of Christianity that is little known and embarrassing and to explain some patterns and mechanism that are rather psychological than religious. To be honest, if you are devout Christian, then you might find the book a little insulting (if you will read it), but trust me, I used only historical information. Best :)(less)

Quotes by Catalin Negru  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Apocalyptic phenomenon is part of the larger phenomenon of religion, which in turn is part of the even larger phenomenon of history.”
― Catalin Negru, A History of the Apocalypse

“Nostradamus gained worldwide notoriety through an accident of history, but, ultimately, he was, like his contemporaries, only a product of the times he lived in. Just the fact that the original French prophecies are organized in rhymed quatrains proves that they were not meant to communicate a certain message, but to entertain a bored society.”
― Catalin Negru, A History of the Apocalypse

message 2: by David

David DuBois Hi Catalin -

Really good to get your note. Since I wrote you last, I have been pretty active politically, and happy that Trump survived the two assassination attempts, and has energetically moved our government in a better direction. You asked me for pros and cons on his first 100 days actions.

The main things I agree with are closing the border and increasing tariffs, both of which have helped address our fentanyl death problem — about 80,000 deaths a year at the peak of the Biden presidency, and should help bring back or save American jobs. I also like Trump’s pro-peace and prosperity actions in Ukraine and the mideast.

There are many things I haven’t liked about what Trump his done, such as promoting the idea of making Gaza into a ritzy resort. Until very recently I thought he was egotistically tone deaf to do that. But as time goes on, I am more and more realizing there is more to the story than what I hear, and am now inclined to give Trump the benefit of the doubt. For example, the Gaza resort may have in fact been a Trump trolling exercise, with the real purpose of deflecting Israel from its desire to have us help them bomb Iran. Likewise his statements about Canada being a 51st state and us taking over Panama were I think also trolling exercises. I think they worked well with Panama (largely thanks to Mario Rubio, our escellent Secretary of State), but am unsure about Canada.

Thanks for your questions. Now how about you giving me pros and cons about the Romanian election winner, as I have done forl youi with Trump?

Sincerely yours, David


Rebecca Gransden Thank you for the friend request Catalin. Look forward to some great chat about bookish things :)
