This updated, comprehensive work answers such questions and points the way to a renewed understanding of the gift of prophecy—an understanding that suggests how the body of Christ may enjoy one of the Holy Spirit's most edifying gifts without compromising the supremacy of Scripture.

-This conservative evangelical scholarly work gives a solid theological basis for further development of a practical theology of spiritual gifts.- —John Wimber, Vineyard Christian Fellowship

-Careful, thorough, wise, and to my mind, convincing.- —J.I. Packer

-...a fresh, biblically sound, readable contribution...its depth of scholarship, pastoral solidity, and cautions against abuses are special strengths. Highly recommended.- —Vern S. Poythress, Professor of New Testament Interpretation, Westminster Theological Seminary

-If Grudem's convincing thesis could be heard, a new path of dialog could perhaps be opened up in the Christian community. The research, clarity, and typical Grudem candor continue to make this the finest book on the subject to date.- —L. Russ Bush, Professor of Philosophy of Religion, Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary

-...thorough, biblical, and practical. It deserves the attention of all who are concerned about the spiritual development of the church today.- —Stanley Horton, Distinguished Professor Emeritus of Bible and Theology, Assemblies of God Theological Seminary
