Hal Lindsey

Hal Lindsey, born in 1929, is an evangelist and author of Christian books.

He is a dispensationalist, and in his popularisation of the teachings of that school of theology, he became the Erich von Däniken of end times prophecy. His first book was The Late Great Planet Earth, published in 1970, which became one of the best selling works of purported non-fiction in that decade. Most of his other writings are in some sense sequels or revisions of this book. The tenor of his teachings can be deduced from the titles of his many books, which include:

• The Late, Great Planet Earth
• Satan is Alive and Well On Planet Earth
• There's a New World Coming
• The 1980s: Countdown to Armageddon
• The Final Battle
• The Terminal Generation
• Planet Earth: The Final Chapter
• Rapture
• Apocalypse Code
• Blood Moon
• Vanished into Thin Air: the Hope of Every Believer
• The Everlasting Hatred: The Roots of Jihad
