The Definitive Study--Now Updated & Expanded Protestant
theology has usually tended toward cessationism, the belief that
the miraculous, including various spiritual gifts, ceased early in
Christian history. The Princeton theologian Benjamin B. Warfield
strongly advocated this view, especially in his influential work
Counterfeit Miracles. The present study, On the Cessation of the
Charismata, thoroughly critiques cessationism generally and
Warfield specifically. It shows that cessationism arises from
sources other than-some even contrary to-Scripture itself: namely,
cessationists' experience of history and their embrace of
philosophies that distort their interpretation of Scripture.
Instead, as On the Cessation shows, Scripture expects the
miraculous, including all gifts of the Holy Spirit, to continue
until the Second Coming; and that far from being signs merely
accrediting the gospel only during its earliest proclamation, such
manifestations of the Spirit are part and parcel of the good news
of God's saving reign. Recognized already by many scholars as the
definitive study, this updated and expanded edition of On the
Cessation of the Charismata offers these valuable, new features:
Summary of the cessationist debate since its first publication
Updated documentation of key sources Outlining of all contents,
visualizing the argument more clearly Groundbreaking discussion of
the Holy Spirit's centrality in the New Covenant. His coming in
Acts 2 is shown to fulfill the prophecy of Isaiah 59:19-21; his
functioning as the prophetic Spirit, to fulfill God's desire to
commune intimately and missionally with all of his Covenant people.
This updated and expanded edition keeps On the Cessation of the
Charismata the definitive study of the biblical underpinnings of
Spirit-empowered Christianity globally. More now than before, it is
a work every student and scholar of biblical hermeneutics and of
biblical, historical, and constructive pneumatology must
engage.Endorsements: Thomas Burke, Dean of Humanities, Hillsdale
College: The most forcefully and cogently argued work for the
continued supernatural operation of the Holy Spirit throughout the
Christian era, including the present.Gene Green, Professor of New
Testament, Wheaton College: The rise of global Pentecostalism calls
for a renewed and wide hearing of these] biblical and theological
arguments in favor of the contemporary charismata within the
church.L. Philip Barnes, The Evangelical Quarterly: Eirenic . . .
and pastoral . . . yet . . . unambiguous in its conclusion:
'Spiritual gifts are granted for the advance of God's kingdom and
the maturity of the church until the end of this present age' . . .
a strong and convincing case.Larry W. Hurtado, Professor of New
Testament, Edinburgh University: A remarkably well informed and
penetrating analysis I find persuasive. The definitive study.
