Jerry Jenkins and Mark Yarbrough Tell the Story Before the Beginning in The Battle for Heaven and Earth
Brian From talks with Left Behind co-author Jerry Jenkins and Dallas Theological Seminary president Dr. Mark Yarbrough about their new novel, The Battle for Heaven and Earth. The book retells Scripture’s opening chapters in narrative form, beginning before creation with Lucifer’s rebellion and a third of the angels cast out of heaven, then moving through creation and the fall, ending with God’s promise of a coming Redeemer. Mark explains how the story addresses the age-old question of evil’s origin, and how Scripture neither ignores nor overstates spiritual warfare. Jerry describes how they imagined plausible details around brief biblical passages while staying faithful to Scripture, and how fiction, like Jesus’ parables, can convey truth to seekers and skeptics. Mark shares his hope that readers will see the Bible as one continuous story and explore the book’s companion videos, soundtrack, and small-group resources at thebattleforheavenandearthbook.com. Jerry admits he found himself relating not only to Michael and Gabriel, but even to Lucifer’s pride.
