One biblical standard. A much wider field of study.

This 218-page study brings together the biblical, theological, and historical evidence for the pretribulational rapture. It faces the strongest objections directly and asks which framework best explains the whole body of evidence.

- Available now in Kindle and paperback editions
- All Scripture quotations from the KJV unless indicated
The approach
Discernment begins with an open Bible.
PreTrib Pilgrim examines disputed questions like a case: define the terms, establish the context, weigh competing explanations, and let the evidence earn the verdict.
Opposing views are presented fairly. Genuine concessions are made where required. But when the cumulative case points clearly in one direction, the conclusion is stated without apology.
