Excellent Source for the Pretribulation Rapture
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
This book is an excellent source for defending the Pretribulation Rapture. My only problem is that I purchased a used copy of the book and it was an older edition so it didn't have the expanded details like the latest edition. If you purchase this book, buy it new so you have the latest and greatest. I may well do that since I find the edition I have to be a good source. I can only imagine the latest edition is even better!
A Pre-Tribulationist Classic
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
This book is the most extensive pre-trib treatment available regarding the issues surrounding the timing of the rapture of the church as described in I Thess. 4. Walvoord is thorough, charitable, and persuasive. This expanded edition includes direct responses to the novel dispensational post-trib position of Robert Gundry. The author does not dodge Gundry's issues, but answers them in point-by-point fashion (while raising some formidable issues of his own against Gundry's assertions). If you've read Gundry, and find yourself swayed by his arguments in favor of a post-trib rapture, then you owe it to yourself to read this book before making any decision on the matter. Hear what BOTH sides have to say. You may be quite surprised at the veracity of pre-tribulationism in the able hand of Walvoord. I highly recommend the book.
