Title: Writing the rapture
Description: Here, Crawford Gribben offers a history, description, and analysis of the rapture-novel genre. The late 1980s culminated in the creation of the Left Behind series. The novels in this series, Gribben shows, are derivative - borrowing entire characters and significant incidents from earlier books.
