| Résumé : |
Can evangelical Christians use the gift of prophecy in their churches today? What is this spiritual gift, and how does it function?
Defining prophecy as neither predicting the future, nor preaching, nor proclaiming a word from the Lord, but rather as “reporting something God spontaneously brings to mind," Dr. Grudem points the way to a new understanding that preserves the unique authority of Scripture while allowing the church room to enjoy one of the Holy Spirit’s most edifying gifts. |
