Welcome to "Get Thee Behind Me," a new series from Unfinished Community where we explore the objectively terrible theology and somehow even worse writing of the "Left Behind" novels from the late 1990s. These books (and other media) were a massive hit in their time, but they didn't come out of nowhere; they're the evolution of centuries of heresy and cultism made manifest with all the polish and shine that the evangelical/political organization in America could bring to bear.




In Episode 4, our growing panel of co-hosts gets back to work, including Micah "The Wise Old Llama" Enby, and our regular hosts Scott Fraley, Courtney Fraley, Kay Van Antwerpen, Finn Jaskowski, and Rev. Don Van Antwerpen! Today we tackle Chapter 3, with all the rapture insanity that entails. Can the venerable Mr. Williams master the intricacies of a blow-up slide? Did God (or the authors) really just straight-up murder the first officer because he dared to take a ride, instead of striding back to the terminal in a suitably masculine fashion? Did the evangelical God just do like...a million abortions simultaneously? Won't somebody please think of the children?
