作者根據其個人對聖經中《啟示錄》，的理解，結合了文藝小說的浪漫、科幻小說的浩大、推理小說的懸疑和驚慄小說的張力，帶出人性的掙扎、心靈的提昇、信仰的尋索，且對人類歷史和現代文明的結局「先天下之憂而憂」。更可貴的，是彰顯出一種超越苦難的韌力和超越人類限制的視野。誠如眾多評論家所稱道的：這是一部文學性、娛樂性、嚴肅性兼具的精彩鉅作。 黎曦庭與曾健時合著的四部末世小說，《末日迷蹤》、《亂世奇兵》、《終極魔星》以及Soul Harvest，被列入基督教書商協會暢銷書名單以及《出版家週刊》宗教類暢銷書名單。《末日迷蹤》在1997年和1998年兩度獲福音派基督教出版商協會年度最佳小說提名。 作者: 黎曦庭 Tim LaHaye 曾健時 Jerry B.

出版社: 福 音 證 主 出 版 社 / 372頁 By Tim LaHaye & Jerry B. Jenkins The“Left Behind” series have been translating into Chinese. To be more precise, this series have been translating into 16 languages. The first one (out of eight) of this series came out in 1995, and it nearly 40 million copies in USA have been sold. In New York Times and Publishers Weekly the christian novels are ranked #1 bestsellers. The available videos are also the one of the best selling items since last October. In addition, about 700 supporters, mostly local churches and also some small business, had amazingly put the “Left Behind” movie into 950 theaters nationwide. “Left Behind” coauthored by Dr. Tim LaHaye and Jerry Jenkins (please check www.timlahays.com and www.jerryjenkins.com) is based on Scripture passages about Christians suddenly disappearing from the earth, because Jesus has summoned them to the Rapture that proceeds the Apocalypse. Those “left behind” face a seven-year reign of the Antichrist before the second coming. Though theologians have different positions on whether Christians are caught up with the Lord before, after or during the tribulation. We all have a common understanding that human history will end, those who do not repent will not get away from the horrible ending; God is always in control in all the turmoil; Christ will come again and judge all the churches and people; new heaven and earth will start. This message encourages Christians to be faithful and warns the unbelievers to repent and be saved by the blood of the lamb. Many Christian literature workers believe that this series have passed this message clearly. The result is millions of readers have gained a heightened interest in the “End Times”, and some of them go back to the church. The chief editor of this series brother Su Wen An who is also director of the literature department of Focus on Chinese Family points out that this is not a theological debate on “End Times”, but a novel written by sincere Christian writers with firm Christian values. Readers should keep this in mind when read this series. The Chinese version of book one, “Left Behind”, called末世謎蹤 ,meaning endtime mysterious tracks, talks about Jesus returning back to earth to take his faithful ones home when the world is plunged into turmoil. Will the good souls that remain be able to withstand the growing evil? |
