Nearly all the futurist eschatological literature out today is in support of the Pre-Tribulation rapture of the church. I don't own a single book that favors a view besides "Pre-Trib", and have never been inside a church that's opposed to this view.
However, I don't believe the Bible teaches it. I could write articles on the reasons why I think that, but the famous theologian and scholar, Samuel Prideaux Tregelles, did a much better job explaining the Post-Tribulation position than I ever could.
Please read this book. It's a quick read that is very clear on the reasons that a Pre-Tribulation rapture simply cannot be.
The church will (soon) go through the period of time that Jesus said will be,
". . . great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be."
