Jonathan Cahn Lands 11th Consecutive New York Times Bestseller With The Altar of Pergamon
Debuting at No. 11 in Hardcover Fiction, the novel explores real historical mysteries through a fictional journey
LAKE MARY, Fla., Sept. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Charisma Media announced today that The Altar of Pergamon has debuted at No. 11 on The New York Times Hardcover Fiction bestseller list, marking Jonathan Cahn's 11th consecutive New York Times bestseller. Released September 1, the novel continues a streak that began with The Harbinger.
Jonathan Cahn Lands 11th Consecutive New York Times Bestseller With The Altar of Pergamon
Written as fiction, The Altar of Pergamon draws readers into mysteries rooted in real history. Through the journey of skeptic Ariel Herzog, Cahn traces an actual ancient altar from the ancient world into the modern era, exploring its connection to the "throne of Satan" described in the book of Revelation.
Because the mystery it reveals is not fiction... It's real…
The fictional narrative provides the framework for Cahn's exploration of historical events and their spiritual significance. The book connects the altar's history with more than 200 documented turning points, including the rise of totalitarian regimes, two world wars and the nuclear standoffs of the twentieth century. Cahn presents these connections as part of an ancient mystery that he argues continues to shape the modern world and individual lives.
The bestseller milestone also comes amid coverage of the viral September 3 incident aboard American Airlines Flight 618, in which a passenger was restrained with duct tape and zip ties before the Dallas-to-Newark flight diverted to Baltimore. In a September 8 report, the New York Post identified Cahn as the man's seatmate and reported Cahn's account that the passenger attacked him. Cahn is available to discuss his experience and how he relates it to the spiritual-warfare themes explored in the book.
Cahn's bestseller streak now spans more than a decade. The Harbinger remained on The New York Times bestseller list for 102 weeks, and every Cahn release since has followed it onto the list. The Altar of Pergamon continues his exploration of biblical mysteries and their relevance to contemporary events.
The Altar of Pergamon is available now wherever books are sold. For more information, visit BooksByJonathanCahn.com.
