The Gift of Prophecy – in the New Testament and today (revised edition)

Forlagets omtale:
What does the New Testament teach about the spiritual gift of prophecy? Does it have a role today? This updated, comprehensive work explores how the Church may enjoy one of the Holy Spirit’s most edifying gifts without compromising the supremacy of Scripture. 'Careful, wise, and to my mind, convincing.' – J I Packer.

The New Testament clearly teaches that the gift of prophecy exists. But what is this spiritual gift? How does it function? Can evangelical Christians use it in their churches today?This updated comprehensive work by a respected New Testament scholar answers such questions and brings with it new understanding of this spiritual gift. Wayne Grudem exegetically makes the case that prophecy is neither predicting the future nor proclaiming a word from the Lord, but rather, 'reporting something God spontaneously brings to the mind'. With practical insight Grudem suggests how to use prophecy in the church and allow the body of Christ to enjoy one of the Holy Spirit's most edifying gifts without compromising the supremacy of Scripture.
