More About the Author

Dr. Tim LaHaye (www.timlahaye.com), who conceived the idea of fictionalizing an account of the Rapture and the Tribulation, is a noted author, minister, and nationally recognized speaker on Bible prophecy. He is the founder of both Tim LaHaye Ministries and The PreTrib Research Center. He also recently cofounded the Tim LaHaye School of Prophecy at Liberty University. Presently Dr. LaHaye speaks at many Bible prophecy conferences in the U.S. and Canada, where his current prophecy books are very popular.

Dr. LaHaye holds a doctor of ministry degree from Western Theological Seminary and a doctor of literature degree from Liberty University. For 25 years he pastored one of the nation's outstanding churches in San Diego, which grew to three locations. It was during that time that he founded two accredited Christian high schools, a Christian school system of ten schools, and San Diego Christian College (formerly known as Christian Heritage College).

Dr. LaHaye has written over 50 non-fiction books and co-authored 25 fiction books, many of which have been translated into 34 languages. He has written books on a wide variety of subjects, such as family life, temperaments, and Bible prophecy. His most popular fiction works, the Left Behind series, written with Jerry B. Jenkins, continue to appear on the best-seller lists of the Christian Booksellers Association, "Publishers Weekly," the "Wall Street Journal," "USA Today," and the "New York Times."

Another popular series by LaHaye and Jenkins is The Jesus Chronicles. This four-book fiction series gives readers a rich first century experience as John, Mark, Luke, and Matthew recount thrilling accounts of the life of Jesus. Dr. LaHaye is co-author of another fiction series, Babylon Rising. Each of the four titles in this series have debuted in the top 10 on the New York Times best seller list. These are suspense thrillers with thought-provoking messages.

4.0 out of 5 stars Worth A Read, September 21, 2000

This review is from: Revelation Unveiled (Paperback)

After reading all of the reviews, I thought I would provide my viewpoint. I am about halfway through this book and I have to say that he makes some good points. I am in the process of determining my viewpoint, pre-trib, mid-trib, or post-trib. I don't agree with everything Lehaye says and at times I think he stretches pretty far to make a point, but it has caused me to dig deeper into the Bible and determine for myself. The book of Revelation is an interesting book and is opened for a lot of interpretation. This book will give you a good pre-trib viewpoint.

As for all the anti-catholic statements and Lehaye's condemnation of the view of non-pretribers, don't take it personally. Just consider his views as just that, his views and put brains in your faith and do your own study. As always, do not rely on just one commentary, read a bunch, most of all the Bible and when in doubt ask God for clarification.

I am currently a pan-triber, it will all pan out in the end. In the meantime, read this book and use it along with other commentaries and the Bible to make up your own mind.

5.0 out of 5 stars Biblically Sound! A Must Read for Any Believer, November 24, 1999

By 

Rebecca Leal - See all my reviews

This review is from: Revelation Unveiled (Paperback)

Tim LaHays' Revelation Unveilved is a valuable source for any Believer's library. LaHaye explains Revelation for the layman, including charts and graphs to allow the reader to see a full picture of what is happening.

As for the references to the Catholic Church, they are sad, but true. There are many wonderful Catholics who have been saved through Faith in Jesus Christ, but sadly there are many more who have not. This book provides insight into the history of their church and exposes some of the Pagan roots of the Roman Catholic Church. Every Catholic should read this and take the words of Revelation to Heart.

I commend LaHaye for bringing the message of the gospel in almost every chapter of the book, which I believe was LaHaye's purpose for writing it. LaHaye reminds us to be prepared for the Rapture of the Church and to pay heed to our Commission from Jesus to be evangelists to all the Nations. Please read this book and watch and pray! Love in Christ!

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding, November 2, 1999

By 

J.J. Johanik (Chicago) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Revelation Unveiled (Paperback)

Don't believe Mr. Absurd above. As a scholar myself, I find this book completely credible and well written. Lahaye does attack the Catholic Church, but only by providing historical evidence in refuting its many accessory practices never dreamed of by the Apostolic Church. I'll take Scripture alone as a basis of my Faith anyday over the legalistic practices of the Catholic traditions.

A great commentary on Revelation for any believer.
