Description
The book is meant to provide theological and exegetical answers to various questions like: Does prophecy continue today? Does the New Testament indicate the cessation of all prophecy in the post-apostolic church? Does the continuation of prophecy today challenge and undermine the sufficiency of Scripture? Does prophecy continue in the form of preaching and teaching today? What was prophecy like in the New Testament Church? Is there a connection between prophecy and tongues or other gifts of speech in the New Testament? The author has labored hard in undertaking an exegetical analysis of the phenomenon of prophecy in the Corinthian church. The learned work not only interacts with the scholarly debate on the topic, but also provides a Biblical theology of prophecy in the Bible, along with an analysis of the phenomenon of prophecy in both Old and New Testaments. It argues for the continuation of congregational prophecy in the post-apostolic church based on the exegetical analysis of the phenomenon in the text of 1 Corinthians 12-14. This book is a must read for: * Christians who struggle with the question of continuing prophecy and the sufficiency of Scripture. * Pastors who face pastoral concerns in their congregations where the members are divided over this controversial subject. Seminary students and scholars who want an exegetical and theological examination of New Testament prophecy, as discussed in 1 Corinthians 12-14.
