Today, millions of Christians believe that that in the end-times, holy souls will be snatched up to heaven, and the impious left behind. And they think that the Bible clearly teaches this. After studying Scripture for decades, author David Currie has come to see that if you accept the Bible, you have to reject the rapture. In these remarkable pages -- which constitute the world's most careful and thorough scriptural study of the rapture -- he shows why. He considers all the relevant verses (and there are hundreds!) and examines them in the light of ancient history, the writings of the earliest Christians, and the claims of rapturist theologians. Marshalling evidence that's as startling as it is compelling, Currie argues that these prophecies of war and tribulation don't point to some still-unrealized apocalyptic future.
