Tribulation as Wrath: Rethinking the Timing of God's Judgment (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781963291131)

Many Christians assume God's wrath begins with the bowl judgments or the Day of the Lord. But Scripture tells a different story. In Tribulation as Wrath, L. J. Anderson offers a tightly focused exegetical study arguing that the entire Tribulation, beginning with the seal judgments, is an expression of divine wrath.

By closely analyzing passages from Revelation and related texts, Anderson challenges the central assumptions behind both prewrath and midtribulational rapture views. Instead, he presents a modified pretribulational perspective, one that takes the text seriously while acknowledging the need for theological humility.

This short work is written in the style of a journal article but made accessible for pastors, students, and everyday readers. It functions as a stand-alone book and also as part of a larger eschatological project within Anderson's broader theological framework known as Structural Theism.
