Babylon Rising by Tim LaHaye is a thriller series centered on Michael Murphy, a biblical prophecy scholar and field archaeologist. Murphy searches for and authenticates ancient artifacts tied to the prophecies of Daniel and Revelation, while a shadowy antagonist sends him on increasingly dangerous quests. The series blends archaeological adventure with end-times theology.
Tim LaHaye co-wrote the first novel with Greg Dinallo, and Bob Phillips co-wrote books two through four. The series ran from 2003 to 2006, and each installment debuted in the New York Times top ten. Babylon Rising gave LaHaye an action-adventure vehicle distinct from the Left Behind novels, combining elements of treasure-hunting fiction with his long-running interest in biblical prophecy.
