"The Blessed Hope" carefully studies the Bible to see if a pre-Tribulation Rapture of the Church is clearly taught there or if it is equally or even more clearly taught that Christians will go through the Tribulation and be "raptured" only at the end when Jesus returns in glory.
He starts with quotes of what early Christians wrote about Revelation in this regard. He also chronicles how the pre-Tribulation idea first appeared and was promoted around 1831. The author then looked at the verses refer...more

Presents the 'Historical Pre-Millenial' view of the rapture of the church.
This book was insrumental in shaking my belief in a 'secret' pre-tribulational Rapture.
Excellent research by Dr. Ladd, whom I heard speak while I was a semiary student in California.

One of the best critiques of the pretribulational rapture available. Sound, reasonable and irenic.
Read this years ago. Great book for dismantling Pre-tribulational rapture theology.
Another classic I re-read after 25 years. Ladd was an excellent NT scholar. He is a historical pre-millennialist. He has written a strong apology for this position. His spirit is an example to followed when disagreeing with another position.
A conservative evangelical scholar refutes the popular eschatology of a quiet return of Christ.
A well done and open-minded perspective on the Rapture and the Christian Life.
