The Rapture Exposed
The Message Of Hope In The Book Of Revelation
BY BARBARA ROSSING
Brief Description:
The idea of "The Rapture" - the return of Christ to rescue and deliver Christians off the earth - is an extremely popular interpretation of the Bible's Book of Revelation and a jumping-off point for the bestselling "Left Behind" series of books. This interpretation, based on a psychology of fear and destruction, guides the daily acts of thousands if not millions of people worldwide. In The Rapture Exposed, Barbara Rossing argues that this script for the world's future is nothing more than a disingenuous distortion of the Bible. The truth, Rossing argues, is that Revelation offers a vision of God's healing love for the world.
