I was excited to read Don't Call it the Rapture because of the subject matter. Unfortunately, I found the book to be confusing. The flow of ideas was often disjointed, making it challenging to follow his line of thought.

In an attempt to provide an unbiased examination of the debate between Christian denominations that do and do not anticipate an end-of-days "rapture," Berkley C. Badger has written a defense that is both dull and difficult to read. In the book's Introduction, the author claims to be "directing [his] work toward the everyday Christian believer"; however, his use of invented initialisms and seemingly endless inclusion of parenthetical comments too frequently forces the "everyday" reader to backtrack and attempt to recover the argumentative thread.
Despite what may have been painstaking research, the resulting volume is just plain painful. In Don't Call it the Rapture, a topic that should have been engaging is rendered tedious.
