Author Berkley C. Badger shares a compelling new perspective on the Rapture while calling attention to misinterpretations in Don't Call It The Rapture: "Beyond the Historical Arguments of the Calvinist and Arminian; Yet Respectful of Hebrew, Christian, and even Islamic End-time Eschatology" ($22.49, paperback, 9781662862007; $9.99, e-book, 9781662862014).
Badger’s thought-provoking book provides a refreshing, thorough approach to the long-running Christian debate surrounding whether the Rapture will occur. Just as the author had his own personal questions regarding the subject, he understands how many laypeople are confused about what they should believe, as well. Badger explains that the confusion is a result of leaders from both sides of the argument using Scripture to support the differing beliefs. The opposing views on the role of Israel and the Jews within end-time events has uncovered even more controversy to the debate.
In this book, Badger discusses insightful commentary respectful to both sides.
He painstakingly researched ancient documents, 60 different Bible versions, and Hebrew cultural tradition to dispel the confusion, providing an in-depth examination concerning the issues. The author also provides in-depth discussions of what both camps believe, fully immersing himself in their arguments, while encouraging every reader to approach this topic from a non-biased perspective. During several years of personal study, while preparing this work, he solicited input from thousands of pastors to offer critical points (via survey) to reveal differing positions, from their personal studies and eschatological leanings, as compared with his own. The book aims to change Christians’ understanding of the Rapture topic, and more importantly, of God’s character.
When asked what inspired the author to write this book, Badger said, “The hopeless lack of accurate teaching by both Rapture and Non-Rapture camps, which needed to be addressed from a new perspective.”
Berkley C. Badger has been involved in the investment and accounting industry for over 40 years, financing his missionary work of twenty years to Muslims in eastern Africa and the Middle East. Furthermore, after selling securities business to a Fortune 500 company, he has maintained his technology innovation quest to expand his multinational patent portfolio in plastics and electronics. He continues to service a growing client base with "no stock market risk" deposit accounts rivaling bank interest rates. Badger has more than forty years of independent biblical studies, with an 18-year-old international teaching program which aired on over 400 United States and foreign radio stations. He thoroughly enjoys studying current economic events, with a bit of camping and fishing thrown in for good measure. Badger is also the author of the book, 38 Hours ...The Faith of God: A Book For Mature Christians, Curious Jews, And Muslims Who Want To Discover Isa.
