The Left Behind books by Tim LaHaye and Jerry Jenkins have swept
across the Christian world. But what are the origins of such Left
Behind ideas as the pretribulation rapture and the sharp
distinction between Israel and the Church? The Origins of Left
Behind Eschatology begins by investigating the eschatology behind
the Left Behind stories, and selects eight teachings which are
essential to that way of understanding the End Times. It then
searches through the relevant documents produced by the Early
Church and many since the Reformation, looking for the origins of
each of those eight ideas and when and how they came together in a
system. There are plenty of surprises. The Origins of Left Behind
Eschatology is a slightly enlarged version of Bennett's PhD
dissertation. It has been called a "clearly argued, thoroughly
researched and overwhelmingly convincing thesis," the conclusions
of which "should ... dispel much of the uncertainty that has dogged
this area of millennial studies." (Crawford Gribben - author of
Rapture Fiction and the Evangelical Crisis). David Malcolm Bennett
was born in England during WW2, became a bookseller and moved to
Australia in 1973. He has been writing seriously since 1985 and now
writes fulltime. David has the degrees B.Th and M.Th (with merit)
through the Australian College of Theology and a PhD from the
University of Queensland (Australia). Amongst his other books are
Why Left Behind Should be Left Behind and The General: William
Booth (two volumes), all published by Xulon Press, and The Altar
Call: Its Origins and Present Usage, published by the University
Press of America. He is a member of Creek Road Presbyterian Church
in Brisbane, Australia.
