   Having not read them, I can't answer. Whether or not it's SF depends on   
   setting, and LaHaye did a short that is clearly Christian SF of the "if this   
   goes on" variety as an introduction to his non-fiction book "Mind Siege."   
   OTOH, would you say that the _   
   Left Behind_ series falls into the category of Christian Fantasy?
