The idea of “The Rapture”, the return of Christ at the end of times so rescue and deliver born-again Christians off the earth, is an extremely popular interpretation of the Bible’s book of Revelation and a jumping-off point for the Left Behind series of books.

In The Rapture Exposed, Barbara Rossing contends that this script for the world’s future is nothing more than a disingenuous distortion of the Bible based on a psychology of fear, and that Revelaton really offers a vision of God’s healing love for the world. The Rapture Exposed reclaims Christianity from fundamentalist’s destructive reading of the biblical story and back into God’s beloved community.
