By Ed Stevens. First book in this generation teaching a literal rapture of all true Christians at the time of the Parousia in AD 70. Five scholars a hundred years ago took a similar view (Milton Terry, J. S. Russell, Weymouth, Urmy, and Hampden-Cook). This book goes further than all of them combined. Answers all the major objections, plus grammatical analysis of the rapture text (1 Th. 4:13ff). Ian Harding, Arthur Melanson, Mike Nichols, Parker Voll, and many other contemporary preterist leaders join with Stevens in affirming a first century rapture. 158 pp pb
