The Tribulation Church

The Tribulation Church presents a scholarly examination of the Church in the end times. In his insightful exploration of this controversial theological issue, Louis Moesta, M. Div., draws upon original Greek and Hebrew texts to make a convincing case for the posttribulation rapture position. A must-read for any Biblical scholar or layperson interested in the tribulation, the rapture, or the Christian church in the end times. This insightful and controversial book should be on the shelves of every library, Christian bookstore, and seminary bookstore. (Note: Earlier edition published as The Crucible and the Crown)

Louis Moesta writes persuasively for the church's need to be prepared to endure the coming Great Tribulation before the return of Christ . . . [and] counters various classic dispensational teachings concerning the church escaping the Tribulation and the imminence of the Rapture, and it demonstrates the unity of the people of God throughout the Old and New Testaments. Further, the posttribulation position articulated in this book provides a compelling motivation for Christians to commit themselves to taking seriously Christ's command to take the gospel to the entire world. Most significantly, the author reminds us of the crucible of suffering that the church will pass through before her glorious reunion with her Lord in the air. — Doug Holm, M Div.
