Over the next three episodes, we will reconsider and reevaluate the theology of a so-called ‘rapture’, an idea that is sometimes assumed to be significant within the book of Revelation. In this first installment, Trevor and Jon begin by exploring the historical origins and the popular appeal of ‘rapture theology’, while also discussing the degree to which it aligns with the general thrust of New Testament eschatology (i.e. the study of ‘last things’). We emphasize that the very concept of the rapture is a relatively recent idea within church history and that despite its prominence within some theological systems and within North American popular culture in recent decades, there is very little support for it from a biblical or theological perspective.
