Rapture Fiction and Evangelical Crisis

This book describes and assesses the best-selling novels in early twentieth-century America – the Left Behind novels, a series of evangelical apocalyptic fictions, which have sold over 60 million copies since 1995. No-one can doubt the series’ success, but many are challenging their representation of the Gospel. This book is written with the concern that Rapture novels might be a much less reliable guide to the Christian gospel than their many millions of readers suppose.
