Many American Christians have never questioned the rapture — they just assumed it was always in the Bible. It wasn't.

This isn't rapture theology vs. no theology — it's rapture theology vs. a bigger, older, more hopeful eschatology: New Creation. If you've ever felt like end times prophecy made you dread the world instead of love it, this one's for you.
