Raptureless: An Optimistic Guide to the End of the World (ePub)

In this revised and updated edition of Raptureless, Jonathan Welton has taken a bold step in confronting one of the greatest "sacred cows" of our day: end time theology!

Added to this edition is the supplemental book called The Art of Revelation, where the author uses the same thought-provoking, well-studied, forthright, and optimistic arguments as before as he examines thoroughly the book of Revelation. He once again shows his scholarship and ability to communicate on issues pertinent to the issues facing today's Church.

The fear created by the expectation of a coming antichrist and a great tribulation are keeping many believers in bondage. Many believe that defeat is the future destiny of the Church. As Jesus said, men's traditions make void the Word of God. In his easy to read presentation, Jonathan dismantles many of the popular ideas in the Church about the end times.

His arguments are Scriptural, lucid, simply and powerfully presented. In addition, Jonathan provides fresh historical background for a number of the historical sources that he has quoted. Read it and be challenged. With this much evidence, the reader must make a decision.
