Description: "William Tuck, who is always a fair-minded and trustworthy Christian scholar, has outdone himself in this exceptional critique of the Left Behind books. If he says they are 'wild,' 'forced,' 'invalid,' 'abusive,' and 'troublesome'--all his words--then we had better listen and recommend his book to every Left Behind enthusiast we know." --John Killinger author of The Life, Death, and Resurrection of Harry Potter and The Other Preacher in Lynchburg: My Life Across Town from Jerry Falwell "With patience and insight, Bill Tuck explains how the theology of the Left Behind series is neither a responsible reading of the Scriptures, nor faithful to the call of Christ to participate in the redemption of God's creation. Based on a wide variety of historical and theological interpretations of apocalyptic texts, his reading uncovers the encouragement and hope these texts offer for the challenges and rewards of contemporary discipleship." --Stephen B. Boyd Wake Forest University "This badly needed book will be a welcome addition to the reader's library and provide solid scholarship by which to examine the claims and interpretations in Left Behind. The psychological imagery created by the series may never be undone. But this book can be a helpful beginning to mending minds and recovering a solid and sensible biblical theology that is true to the text and historical facts. Those fascinated by The Left Behind series now have an opportunity to expand their vision and deepen their understandings of apocalyptic." --Paul D. Simmons University of Louisville
