The rapture--or the belief that Jesus' living followers will, at some point, join him forever while others do not--is an important but contested doctrine among evangelicals. Scholars generally hold one of three perspectives on the timing and circumstances of the rapture, all of which are presented in this important volume of the Counterpoints series, Three Views on the Rapture: Alan D. Hultberg (PhD, Trinity International University and professor of New Testament at Talbot School of Theology) explains the Pre-Wrath view. Craig Blaising (PhD, Dallas Theological Seminary and president of Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary) defends the Pre-Tribulation view. Douglas Moo (PhD, University of St. Andrews and professor of New Testament at Wheaton College) sets forth the Post-Tribulation view. Each author provides a substantive explanation of his position, which is critiqued by the other two authors. A thorough introduction gives a historical overview of the doctrine of the rapture and its effects on the church. The interactive and fair-minded format of the Counterpoints series allows readers to consider the strengths and weaknesses of each view and draw informed, personal conclusions.

The rapture of the Church and the events of the end time is a classical teaching about the rapture which will occur any moment from now and also an Eschatological exposition of the events that will occur after the rapture. The book tries to correct a lot of wrong teachings that has been taught by several Churches and pastors and handed over from one generation to another. It exposes in chronological order the events of the end time from the pre rapture signs discussing the different schools of thought about the pre tribulation, mid tribulation and post tribulation ideas, the manifestation of the man of lawlessness to the second coming (Parousia) of the Lord Jesus Christ, the arrest of Satan, his imprisonment, the millennium reign, the release of Satan for a short period of time till the event of the end of age. All these events are compared to the current world events and how the rapture is very close by.It is concluded with creation of the new heaven, the new earth and the new Jerusalem as three different and distinct entities. The book is based on several years of studies, research and teaching of the subject.

The idea of "The Rapture" -- the return of Christ to rescue and deliver Christians off the earth -- is an extremely popular interpretation of the Bible's Book of Revelation and a jumping-off point for the best-selling "Left Behind" series of books. This interpretation, based on a psychology of fear and destruction, guides the daily acts of thousands if not millions of people worldwide. In The Rapture Exposed, Barbara Rossing argues that this script for the world's future is nothing more than a disingenuous distortion of the Bible. The truth, Rossing argues, is that Revelation offers a vision of God's healing love for the world. The Rapture Exposed reclaims Christianity from fundamentalists' destructive reading of the biblical story and back into God's beloved community.
