Catholic Scripture Study International: Will Catholics Be 'Left Behind'?
Overview
Includes five lessons with suggested responses and commentary on the theologies and relevant biblical texts.
Carl Olson grew up with many misconceptions about the “end times.” This study is a thorough critique of the popular notion of the “Rapture”—the belief that Christians will be removed from earth prior to a time of Tribulation and the Second Coming. It examines the theological, historical, and biblical basis for premillennial dispensationalism, the belief system based around the Rapture, and popularized in the best-selling Left Behind books.
In Logos, these Catholic Scripture Study International studies work even smarter. See Scripture, Catechism, and Church document references appear on mouseover, and instantly find what other authors in your library have to say on the topic. Take notes and share them with your small group on Faithlife, or lead your small group straight from the instructional guide always accessible on your tablet, smart phone, or laptop.
