The Gift of Prophecy: In the New Testament and Today

About this book

What does the New Testament teach about the spiritual gift of prophecy? What is it? How does it function? Can evangelical Christians use it in their churches today? This updated comprehensive work answers such questions and points the way to a renewed understanding of the gift of prophecy--an understanding that suggests how the body of Christ may enjoy one of the Holy Spirits most edifying gifts without compromising the supremacy of Scripture. "This conservative evangelical scholarly work gives a solid theological basis for further development of a practical theology of spiritual gifts." --John Wimber Vineyard Christian Fellowship "Careful thorough wise and to my mind convincing." --J.I. Packer "...a fresh biblically sound readable contribution...its depth of scholarship pastoral solidity and cautions against abuses are special strengths. Highly recommended." --Vern S. Poythress Professor of New Testament Interpretation Westminster Theological Seminary "If Grudems convincing thesis could be heard a new path of dialog could perhaps be opened up in the Christian community. The research clarity and typical Grudem candor continue to make this the finest book on the subject to date." --L. Russ Bush Professor of Philosophy of Religion Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary "...thorough biblical and practical. It deserves the attention of all who are concerned about the spiritual development of the church today." --Stanley Horton Distinguished Professor Emeritus of Bible and Theology Assemblies of God Theological Seminary
