Dispensationalism

=== Pop prophecy ===
With the success of ''Late Great Planet Earth'', the rapture theology of dispensationalism triggered a flood of books. Lindsey released ''Satan is Alive and Well on Planet Earth'' (1972), ''There's a New World Coming'' (1973), and ''The Liberation of Planet Earth'' (1974)''.'' Other books included ''The Beginning of the End'' (1972) by Tim LaHaye, and DTS graduate Thomas McCall's ''Satan in the Sanctuary'' (1973) and ''Raptured'' (1975).<ref name=":20" /> In 1972, Iowa filmmakers [[Russell Doughten]] and [[Donald W. Thompson]] released ''[[A Thief in the Night (film)|A Thief in the Night]],'' a fictional film about the aftermath of the rapture that has been seen by an estimated 300 million people.<ref name="CT12">{{cite web
