Title: The Best Catholic Book on the Endtimes
Review: Carl E. Olson has produced a superb scholarly refutation of the Rapture belief held by many evangelical Christians. Olson's treatment of dispensationalist errors seems irrefutable.My own background is similar to Olson's and reading this book was of great interest to me. Olson surprised me that there is no scriptural evidence proof-texts for the Rapture whatsoever, even Tim LaHaye concedes this. The Bible's references to the imminency of Christ's coming invariably includes the taking away of the wicked to judgement. It is the wicked who will be surprised by the sudden destruction that comes upon them, rather than waiting for 7 years from the surprise Rapture knowing exactly when the end will come.The main problem Olson faces is that the people who really need this book (fundamentalists) will dare never read it. They'll be too busy lapping up the false prophecies of Hal Lindsey et al on TBN and will be warned off this book by their false teachers.
Is the review positive or negative?
