4.0 out of 5 stars
Well referenced by the author of "After the Rapture: Passing the Torch", December 28, 2010
I found Tim LaHaye's book well referenced but a little brusque when addressing other opinions. I like his thoughts about the "age of accountability" on p. 39, that "only God knows that date" (age). Perhaps none of us know everything about what the future holds but LaHaye does a good job at summing up what he and others have written about in the past. Although I love his logical conclusions, especially the hope that is associated with the Rapture, I didn't see any "new research" in his work. It is a bit like talking about the Red Sea parting I suppose, many years before the event, except the Israelites didn't have any prophetic writings. We should be scrutinizing Scripture to find the minute details that are scattered throughout to become like the sons of Issachar, understanding the signs of the times, just as before the coronation of David. This "prophetic awareness" as LaHaye documents of Darby, has continued today in increasing fashion. LaHaye is indeed prophetically aware.

Other Scholars Included, February 15, 2005
"The Rapture" is a welcomed, valuable reference edition for anyone examining eschatology.
Dr. Tim LaHaye, of 'Left Behind' notoriety, divides his volume of study into three primary sections. He begins by exposing and then deftly answering the basic challenges to the reality of the Rapture in seven defining chapters approaching the event from as many aspects.
Next, the author turns his focus to the timing presented through the pre-tribulation view, including chapters reviewing the other most popular positions of consideration and then closing that section with a final admonition in support of the Pre-Trib stand.
The final passage, consisting of six portions, examines the primary attacks on the Pre-Trib position opening with a detailed analysis of John Darby's life and influence on the teaching. Dr. LaHaye helpfully includes documentation by other scholars that have been chronicling Darby's involvement in the Rapture debate over the past century and more.
Dr. LaHaye's work is a needful response to the continuing attacks on a position that holds more credibility within Scripture than any other offering for endtime fulfillment.
It is positively exciting to be living in the days in which so many prophecies are either being realized or coming to light. And so deep appreciation is rightfully bestowed upon author LaHaye for not only his scholarship, but also his well-advised warning. Dr. LaHaye summons especially all who subscribe to the pre-tribulation pre-millennial view that caution is paramount for all delving into the study of these things which must soon so surely come to pass.

The Rapture Who will Face the Tribulation, July 23, 2007
As with other writings of Tim LaHaye, this book makes you stop and think. It is riviting and filled with information that will cause people to evalutate their relationship with the Savior.
