This book explores three --Pre; Mid; and Post-Tribulation.

Summary: Difficult reading; arguments of all three views are weak; but a good debate anyway.

Rating: 2

I just spent about a year studing the book of Revelation. After that I decided I needed to learn what is the argument for the Pre-Trib Rapture theory, so I purchased this book. But the book is rather difficult to follow and none of the writers have a very convincing argument. What I really wanted was to find the history of the Pre-Trib and Post-Trib views, but this was not covered very much (just from the point of view of one denomination and going back only to about the 1830s).

At the same time, incidentally, I also bought a book called, "Rapture? Sure ... but when?" by William E. Anderson. This book has actually turned out to be much better than the former in explaning the Pre-Trib Rapture theory, even though it is a book which holds the Post-Trib theory. And the best thing about this book is that it gives an excellent history of both views. For instance, did you know that the Pre-Trib rapture theory started with a Scottish woman in 1831 named Margaret Macdonald who had a "vision" of a "split-second coming," and that prior to that time the Pre-Trib rapture theory did not exist (page 21)? Anderson traces the remarkable development of this theory and the attempts of the Pre-Trib proponents to cover up and distort these facts and to rewrite history to their own liking. His book I highly recommend.
