Of those left behind in a world of descending darkness, who will succumb, and who will struggle for the light? 20 Minutes into the Future, millions of Christians suddenly disappear without a trace, as the ancient cosmic war between Good and Evil speeds toward its culmination, and a new regime unlike any other seizes power over the globe. Written over the course of a decade by Tim LaHaye and Jerry Jenkins, Left Behind and its sequels offer a fictionalized version of future history and the dramatic end of the world, as understood by the Premillennial Dispensationalist Christian tradition.
While not quite the first - the Christ Clone Trilogy was around earlier, and Salem Kirban's more out-there 666 before that - Left Behind is the Christian End Times series as far as public recognition goes, at least in America. The one that made the Rapture common knowledge. 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17, The Bible (NKJV)
