I am sorry to say I was disappointed in Paul Karleen's response to the relatively recent Pre-Wrath Rapture theories being expounded today. Bouyed by the strong recommendations by Dr. Charles Ryrie and Dr. John Whitcomb on the back cover, I dove into the book expecting a clear and powerful rebuttal to the Pre Wrath theorists. Instead, I got a very confusing and overly detailed argument that lost me in its intricacies. Furthermore, his arguments against the Pre Wrath theory could be equally, and I believe more damagingly, applied against the Pre Tribulation theory. As a recent convert to the Pre Wrath view of the Rapture, I was not persuaded by Karleen to reconsider Pre Tribulation Rapture.
