The Rapture Trap

The belief that Jesus Christ will return to earth not once, but twice is all over the news these days. He's coming in secret to "rapture" Christians from the planet, allowing them to avoid the horrible sufferings promised for the earth's final days in the Bible.

In The Rapture Trap, with Scripture, Paul Thigpen draws on Tradition, the Catholic Church's Catechism, Church history, and modern experience to expose the rapture doctrine's flaws as well as the greater tangle of distorted religious ideas to which it is linked.
