Super Structure with Julian Feeld

The Late Great Planet Earth (E6) Sample

The least known book that changed the world. The Late Great Planet Earth is the topic of our first Super Structure book club episode. Published in 1970, TLGPE became a huge best seller that influenced people from Ronald Reagan to Ruby Ridge’s Vicki Weaver. It’s also the blueprint for a now-resurgent form of Christian Zionism. Julian Feeld and Jon Gabrus are joined by Hayden Tank, host of the Bible Lore podcast, to explore this piece of apocalyptic prophesy.
