| book description |

This book makes the case that Scripture and experiences from around the world demonstrate that the full range of spiritual gifts, including prophecy and healing, remain valid today. In Spiritual Gifts Are for Today, noted New Testament scholar Craig S. Keener partners with leading global evangelist and pastor Daniel Kolenda to show that the position of cessationism--which claims that certain spiritual gifts have died out--rests on tradition and contradicts the plain witness of Scripture. Nowhere does Scripture teach that any gifts will cease before Christ's return; therefore, the argument that particular spiritual gifts have ceased elevates a postbiblical doctrine above Scripture itself. Balancing biblical exposition with stories from around the world, Keener and Kolenda argue for continuationism--the idea that all spiritual gifts mentioned in the Bible may continue beyond the early church. They show that Scripture presents special divine activity as valid for the entire course of the present age.
