The Hope of Christ's Second Coming by S P Tregelles and published by Classics.
This is one of the classic works, originally published in 1864, against a view that was then called the "secret rapture of the church." It was written by a churchman and scholar well acquainted with the circumstances of this view's origin and early dissemination in the Nineteenth Century. Today the "secret rapture" view is called pretribulationism. It teaches that Jesus will remove the church from the earth before the Great Tribulation begins. Unfortunately, most who hold to premillennialism today accept this view. Historically, that was not the case. Read the answers that Tregelles gives against the arguments used, and still used, to support pretribulationism.
