The Rapture, by bestselling prophecy expert Tim LaHaye, is the result of one of the most intensive research projects in the author’s life. After weighing the evidence, he is more convinced than ever that the Bible teaches a pre–Tribulation rapture. As he shares his discoveries with readers, LaHaye...

• compares the pre–Tribulation, mid–Tribulation, and post–Tribulation rapture views and gives solid reasons why the rapture comes before the Tribulation
• includes timelines and charts that provide a clear picture of the end times
• reveals the key to interpreting Bible prophecies correctly

Christians don’t need to be confused about the future. Readers will find this a highly informative and encouraging book.

More About the Author

Dr. Tim LaHaye (www.timlahaye.com), who conceived the idea of fictionalizing an account of the Rapture and the Tribulation, is a noted author, minister, and nationally recognized speaker on Bible prophecy. He is the founder of both Tim LaHaye Ministries and The PreTrib Research Center. He also recently cofounded the Tim LaHaye School of Prophecy at Liberty University. Presently Dr. LaHaye speaks at many Bible prophecy conferences in the U.S. and Canada, where his current prophecy books are very popular.

Dr. LaHaye holds a doctor of ministry degree from Western Theological Seminary and a doctor of literature degree from Liberty University. For 25 years he pastored one of the nation's outstanding churches in San Diego, which grew to three locations. It was during that time that he founded two accredited Christian high schools, a Christian school system of ten schools, and San Diego Christian College (formerly known as Christian Heritage College).

Dr. LaHaye has written over 50 non-fiction books and co-authored 25 fiction books, many of which have been translated into 34 languages. He has written books on a wide variety of subjects, such as family life, temperaments, and Bible prophecy. His most popular fiction works, the Left Behind series, written with Jerry B. Jenkins, continue to appear on the best-seller lists of the Christian Booksellers Association, "Publishers Weekly," the "Wall Street Journal," "USA Today," and the "New York Times."

Another popular series by LaHaye and Jenkins is The Jesus Chronicles. This four-book fiction series gives readers a rich first century experience as John, Mark, Luke, and Matthew recount thrilling accounts of the life of Jesus. Dr. LaHaye is co-author of another fiction series, Babylon Rising. Each of the four titles in this series have debuted in the top 10 on the New York Times best seller list. These are suspense thrillers with thought-provoking messages.

4.0 out of 5 stars Well referenced by the author of "After the Rapture: Passing the Torch", December 28, 2010

This review is from: The Rapture: Who Will Face the Tribulation? (Tim LaHaye Prophecy Library(TM)) (Paperback)

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.After the Rapture: Passing the Torch

5.0 out of 5 stars Other Scholars Included, February 15, 2005

This review is from: The Rapture: Who Will Face the Tribulation? (Tim LaHaye Prophecy Library(TM)) (Paperback)

"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.
