"Paul Thigpen's The Rapture Trap is a welcome antidote for a common, popular, and deeply flawed bit of pop culture that has somehow managed to be mistaken for revelation. Read this book and get the real story on what Scripture and Christian orthodoxy have to say about the glorious return of Jesus Christ."
Mark P. Shea, Author: By What Authority? and Making Senses Out of Scripture
"This extremely well-researched and well-written book clearly explains the background and dangers of certain "end times" views in vogue today. Dr. Thigpen addresses the doctrinal and apologetical issues that surround these renegade apocalyptic theories. This book is crucial for contemporary Christians. Rather than being anxious about the "signs of the times" so you can determine the imminent "day and hour" (Matthew 24:36), read this wonderful book by Paul Thigpen. You will be better equipped to follow Jesus and advise more assuredly: "Watch, therefore, be ready." (Matthew 25:42, 44).
Marcus C. Grodi, President: The Coming Home Network
"Every week I receive questions about the "rapture" from radio listeners and letter writers. Catholics and Protestants alike are confused about what the Church and the Bible teach on this "end times" topic. Paul Thigpen debunks the novel and new rapture theory with charity, clarity, and precision. I have no doubt that The Rapture Trap will bring a healthy dose of common sense and clear thinking to religion in America."
Karl Keating, Author: Catholicism and Fundamentalism
Paul Thigpen, Ph.D., is a senior editor for Servant Publications and associate editor of Envoy Magazine, and the best-selling author of more than five hundred articles for national and international audiences and 25 books, including A Dictionary of Quotes From the Saints (Servant, 2001) and Blood of the Martyrs, Seed of the Church: Stories of Catholics Who Died for Their Faith (Servant, 2001). The Rapture Trap draws not only from his study of "end times" fervor, but also from his personal experience: he is a former evangelical Protestant pastor who entered the Catholic Church in 1993. Thigpen lives with his wife, Leisa, and their two children in Savannah, Georgia.
