Title: Consider...
Product review: Could there be more off-shoots and volumes of the Left Behind saga? Indeed there will. I must admit, the relentless marketing and didactic writing make me weary of the whole enterprise. But bashing the series doesn't do any good. I would instead urge anyone who is fascinated by this series to at least consider the fact that the millenial views it espouses have only recently gained this level of acceptance. In fact, it was in 19th century America that dispensational premillenialism exploded. The history of the Church does contain premillenial views, but other views of Revelation and the end times have had great support. Please consider a book like Mark Noll's Scandal of the Evangelical Mind, particularly its discussion of how these views came to thrive in the American context.
