In "The Rapture Exposed," author Barbara Rossing argues against the popular interpretation of the Bible's Book of Revelation that suggests the return of Christ will rescue and deliver Christians from the earth. This interpretation, which has influenced the "Left Behind" book series, is based on fear and destruction and has a significant impact on many people's daily lives. Rossing believes that this interpretation is a distortion of the Bible and instead argues that Revelation offers a vision of God's healing love for the world. "The Rapture Exposed" aims to reclaim Christianity from fundamentalists' destructive reading of the biblical story and bring it back to God's beloved community.
