Plot

Premillennialists continue to be divided on the question of the Rapture of the church. Will it occur before, in the middle of, or after the Tribulation? Drs. Feinberg (Pre), Archer (Mid), and Moo (Post) present the case for the position each holds. Each chapter is followed by critical responses from the 2 opposing positions. This format allows the reader to see the 3 positions in a sort of dialogue, thus clarifying the distinctiveness and revealing the strengths and weaknesses of each. Firmly held and clearly stated convictions are tempered by an irenic spirit. The book is introduced by Richard Reiter's helpful essay tracing the history of this debate in American evangelicalism.
