@lt;DIV@gt;Debate abounds on the future of Israel and Israel's
relation to the church, not only between dispensationalists and
non-dispensationalists, but among dispensationalists themselves. In
the past that debate has sometimes been acrimonious, and proponents
of the differing viewpoints have found little common ground. In
recent years, however, views have been modified and developed so
that the dialogue is increasingly by cooperation and a mutual
exploration of diverse ideas. The Case for Progressive
Dispensationalism is intended to enlighten the debate in that same
irenic spirit. The book is solidly dispensational in perspective in
affirming that the Old Testament prophecies are completely
fulfilled in the future, that the nation of Israel has a prophetic
future, and that Israel is not the church. Dr. Saucy departs from
classic dispensationalism, however, in showing that (1) the
fulfillment of Old Testament prophecy begins in the present church
age, and (2) the church is not a parenthesis in God's program but
represents a continuity with the Old Testament messianic program.
This modified dispensationalism seeks to satisfy many of the
objections of non-dispensational approaches to eschatology while
retaining the crucial elements of biblical interpretation that
characterize dispensational thought.@lt;/div@gt;
Are Miraculous Gifts for Today? takes you to the heart of one of
the most dividing questions in the Church today: how are the Holy
Spirit's miracles at work among God's people now? Is he still
actively giving the gifts of tongues, prophecy, and healing that
fill the book of Acts? Is he driving out demons when Christians
command them to flee? Or are these events confined to the time of
the early church and the apostles? This volume of the Counterpoints
series provides an impartial format for comparing the four main
positions on present-day miracles (including the history and
distinctions between the three positions that affirm miraculous
gifts) with voice also given to a large sector of open-but-cautious
evangelicals: Cessationist: there are no miraculous gifts of the
Holy Spirit today. Pentecostal: gifts are intended for today, with
certain nuances focused on baptism and speaking in tongues.
Charismatic: gifts are intended for today and should be actively
practiced. Third Wave: gifts are intended for today, with greater
emphasis on baptism and less on tongues. This thought-provoking
book will help Christians on every side of the miraculous gifts
debate to better understand their own position and the positions of
others. The Counterpoints series presents a comparison and critique
of scholarly views on topics important to Christians that are both
fair-minded and respectful of the biblical text. Each volume is a
one-stop reference that allows readers to evaluate the different
positions on a specific issue and form their own, educated opinion.
