Know about the book -

Writing the Rapture(English, Hardcover, Gribben Crawford) is written by Gribben Crawford and published by Oxford University Press Inc. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 0195326601 (ISBN 10) and 9780195326604 (ISBN 13).

In this book, Crawford Gribben offers the only full-length history, description, and analysis of the rapture-novel genre. The late 1980s, which saw a renaissance of the evangelical imagination, culminated in the creation of the Left Behind series, co-authored by Tim La Haye and Jerry B. Jenkins. The novels in this series, Gribben shows, are astonishingly derivative - borrowing entire characters and significant incidents from earlier books. Analyzing the unexpected publishing success of the Left Behind novels, he characterizes the series as a barometer of evangelical popular opinion.
