520 |a The Left Behind series is a publication and marketing phenomenon with a worldwide readership. Asserting the ‘Truth’ of The Revelation of John as self-evident and using pre-Millennial Evangelical belief as the rhetorical and theological foundation of the series, the authors’ twelve novels depend on the premise that the Second Coming requires the conversion to Christianity of 144,000 Jews. This critique examines the novels’ layered rhetoric, contextualizing the series’ assumptions in a discussion of Jewish history, tradition, and the Shoah. I conclude that the series displaces all cultural and religious pluralism, and through its layered rhetoric announces its underlying anti-Semitic assumptions.
