Sommario/riassunto

The 'Left Behind' series of novels by Tim LaHaye and Jerry Jenkins have been instrumental in disseminating and popularising 'rapture theology' in the contemporary period, selling some 65 million copies worldwide and revitalising the evangelical publishing industry in the U.S. 'Plotting Apocalypse' develops an in-depth critical analysis of LaHaye and Jenkins' bestselling series, including the sequel and prequels, showing how the 'Left Behind' series functions as a space where the conundrum of evangelical agency can be staged and, perhaps, resolved.
