Jerry B. Jenkins is an American author best known for co-writing the Left Behind series with Tim LaHaye, turning end-times theology into a major sequence of fast-paced apocalyptic thrillers. Long before that success, Jenkins had built a wide-ranging career in... sports writing, biography, Christian publishing, children’s fiction, mysteries, and collaborative nonfiction. His work is marked by accessible prose, strong narrative momentum, and characters placed under moral, spiritual, or physical pressure. Beyond Left Behind, he has written biblical fiction including the Jesus Chronicles and later novels connected to The Chosen, the television series created by his son Dallas Jenkins. Readers follow Jenkins for direct storytelling, large-scale religious themes, and a remarkably varied bibliography shaped by decades of professional writing.
