This is an excellent book. I did find Chapter 1 quite difficult to follow, but I was so glad that I persevered because it becomes much clearer after this. It presents all the different positions on the millennium and the rapture, and what biblical evidence, if any, there is for these. He also explains the background as to when and why these first arose. For instance, it becomes clear that the idea of the church being raptured first came from Jon Nelson Darby in the mid 1850's and was then popularised by the Schofield Reference Bible. I t also becomes clear that many of the original positions were later revised and are still being revised in the light of subsequent debates and discussions. You are left to make up your own mind about the final position, but you feel way more equipped to do this after reading this book than before you started. An excellent book on this topis which I would recommend to anyone with questions about this topic. (My thanks also to Dr Phil Kramer (Hot Springs, AR) for recommending this book).
