Don't Call It The Rapture

Don’t Call It the Rapture!: “Beyond the Historical Arguments” by Berkley C. Badger is a compelling look at the debate between Christian denominations who believe in the rapture and those who do not, containing Scripture passages and insightful commentary to discuss what the Bible says to support one side over the other. The book was written using extensive research, including a survey provided to thousands of pastors that offered critical questions revealing their respective positions from scriptural basics to eschatological leanings. Badger focuses on the importance of modern-day Christians understanding aspects of biblical Jewish culture, such as marriage traditions, and the role that Israel will play in end-time events, subjects which different groups within the church often view differently depending on whether they hold more traditional versus more evangelical leanings. Badger fully immerses himself in both sides of the argument and ultimately shows why he believes that rapturists are incorrect.
