Don't Call It The Rapture: "Beyond the Historical Arguments of the Calvinist and Arminian; Yet Respectful of Hebrew, Christian, and even Islamic (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781662862007)

The idea of the rapture and whether or not it will occur - and if so, when - is a hotly debated subject within Christian theology. Leaders from both sides of the argument use Scripture to support their beliefs, which unfortunately has left laypeople confused as to what they should believe. Even more controversy is uncovered when differing views on the role of Israel and the Jews within end-time events are added to the mix. In this book, the author has painstakingly researched ancient documents, 60 different Bible versions, and Hebrew cultural tradition to dispel the confusion, providing an in-depth examination concerning these issues.

Don't Call It The Rapture by Berkley C. Badger is a compelling book which delves deeply into the debate between Christian denominations, who believe in the rapture and those who do not, and contains relevant Scripture passages with insightful commentary respectful to both sides. Throughout the book the author provides in-depth discussions of what both camps believe, fully immersing himself in their arguments, while encouraging every reader to approach this topic from a non-biased perspective.

The inspiration to solve this conundrum came from the author's own personal questions regarding the subject. During several years of personal study, while preparing this work, he solicited input from thousands of pastors to offer critical points (via survey) to reveal differing positions, from their personal studies and eschatological leanings, as compared with his own. This book shall forever change your understanding of the rapture topic, and more importantly, of God's character.

Enjoy the Read!
