The Slacktivist on Left Behind
Fred Clark has returned to the thankless job of criticising the
Left Behind series:
That’s the background here. That’s the setting that LaHaye and Jenkins have created. It’s one of the most awful and awesome panoramas of human suffering ever imagined in a work of fiction. But the audacity of the wholesale suffering that L&J imagine is dwarfed by the greater audacity of their wholly disregarding the very scenario they have presented. The authors and their protagonists seem wholly unperturbed by all of this death and destruction, save in how it presents a logistical inconvenience and cramps the travel plans of our heroes.
