Outline Studies On The Rapture Question

Preface

This study was written while I was on the staff of Wheaton College in 1973 and was distributed by the Biblical Research Institute*. Some minor editing was done in 2005 for posting on the web. It is being rewritten and expanded and will be published as The Late Great Rapture Debate (© 2006).

The idea for this study grew out of a prophecy conference held at Wheaton College that was sponsored by the Biblical Research Institute. Speakers included Professor Arthur Katterjohn, Rev. Del Birkey, and myself. In attendance was Dr. J. Barton Payne who showed the galley proofs for his new book Encyclopedia Of Biblical Prophecy. The book has since become a ‘classic’ and a must-have for the student of Bible prophecy.
