History books are filled with the names of great men and women. Yet no one individual has had more influence on civilization than the man known as Jesus of Nazareth. For centuries man has debated his identity, his humanness, his divinity. Today more than ever, the search for truth continues as men and women struggle to find answers to the same question presented by the Jesus Seminar skeptics (reported in the headlines of Time, Newsweek, and U.S. News & World Report): Who is this man called Jesus? A hard-hitting book filled with enough solid evidence to convince even the most hardened skeptic, Jesus: Who Is He? is written in a way that is logical, easy to understand, interesting and convincing, by one of the top authors in Christian publishing today.
Timothy F. LaHaye is an American evangelical Christian minister, author, and speaker. He is best-known for the Left Behind series of apocalyptic fiction, which he co-wrote with Jerry B. Jenkins. He has written over 50 books, both fiction and non-fiction.
LaHaye received a B.A. from Bob Jones University in 1950. He also holds a Doctor of Ministry degree from Western Seminary. In 1958, the LaHaye family moved to San Diego, California, where he became pastor of the Scott Memorial Baptist Church (since renamed Shadow Mountain Community Church) in El Cajon, serving there for almost 25 years. In 1971 he founded Christian Heritage College, which is now known as San Diego Christian College.
LaHaye is best-known for the Left Behind series of apocalyptic fiction that depict the Earth after the pretribulation rapture which LaHaye believes will occur. The books were LaHaye's brainchild, though Jerry B. Jenkins, a former sportswriter with numerous other works of fiction to his name, did the actual writing of the books from LaHaye's notes. LaHaye has said, "I write the best I can. I know I'm never going to be revered as some classic writer. I don't claim to be C. S. Lewis. The literary-type writers, I admire them. I wish I was smart enough to write a book that's hard to read, you know?"
Time magazine named LaHaye one of the 25 most influential evangelicals in America and in the summer of 2001 the Evangelical Studies Bulletin named him the most influential Christian leader of the preceding quarter century.
