Left Behind: A Novel of the Earth's Last Days is a best-selling novel

It was narrative form to a specific eschatological reading of the Christian Bible

This novel has received different reactions

Jerry Falwell said: "In terms of its impact on Christianity, it's probably greater than that of any other book in modern times, outside the Bible."

Some evangelicals

are concerned about the message of the genre

based on the paucity of scriptural evidence for the Pre-Tribulation Rapture which forms the basis for the story

this series is ultimately a rejection of the good news of Jesus Christ. I say this because it rejects the way of the cross and Jesus’ call to obedient discipleship and a new way of life. It celebrates the human will to power, putting Evangelical Christians in the heroic role of God’s Green Berets. ... Love of enemies is treated as a misguided strategy associated not with the gospel, but with the Antichrist."
