Dallas Jenkins's father, ''[[Left Behind]]'' author [[Jerry B. Jenkins]], has contributed a [[novelization]] of each of the show's first two seasons.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Law |first=Jeannie Ortega |date=June 20, 2021 |title='Left Behind' author Jerry Jenkins talks new book, fatherhood and why he believes we're in the End Times |url=https://www.christianpost.com/books/left-behind-author-jerry-jenkins-talks-new-book-end-times.html |access-date=January 5, 2023 |website=[[The Christian Post]]}}</ref><ref name=":9">{{Cite web |last=Dowd |first=Cooper |date=August 17, 2022 |title='Come and See': Award-Winning Author Jerry Jenkins Releases Novel Based on Season 2 of The Chosen |url=https://www.movieguide.org/news-articles/come-and-see-award-winning-author-jerry-jenkins-releases-novel-based-on-season-2-of-the-chosen.html |access-date=January 5, 2023 |website=[[Movieguide]]}}</ref> An additional third novel is planned.<ref name=":10">{{Cite web |last=Gryboski |first=Michael |date=August 25, 2022 |title=Jerry B.

The elder Jenkins notes that this is atypical: though it is common for TV shows or movies to be based on novels, in this case it is the other way around, with the novel being based on the show in what he refers to as "a backward deconstruction".<ref name=":9" /> He notes that the biggest challenge in this approach is adding detail to the story that is not part of the Biblical account.<ref name=":9" />
