Spiritual Gifts

What They Are and Why They Matter

By: Thomas R. Schreiner

Narrated by: David Cochran Heath

What are the spiritual gifts? Do all Christians have them? Have the miraculous gifts ceased?

The topic of spiritual gifts is often a point of contention among Christians. In Spiritual Gifts: What They Are and Why They Matter, Dr. Thomas R. Schreiner, a leading New Testament scholar, answers these questions.

Schreiner shares his personal experience related to spiritual gifts, but more importantly, he unpacks what the Bible has to say about them. In doing so, he brings a spirit of humility and charity, reminding us though spiritual gifts are important, we can have unity in Christ even where we disagree.

One of my Favorite Scholars

Gives great defense of his stance while still being graceful to the other side. Could not recommend it more

Very good argument for his position

I like that he is very respectful of people that have possibly been misled into certain things, and that he presents a solid case for his position.

Wonderful, nuanced treatment!

Dr. Schreiner presents a nuanced view of spiritual gifts and charitably assesses both continuist and cessationist positions. This is a treatment of the topic that should be read before many other polemic pieces. Based on exegesis and humbly presented, this book is rare in its kind and valuable to any reader!

Good explanation of the secassionist view

Schreiner argues well for a nuanced view of spiritual gifts, which most protestants can identify with, and is similar to many western, charismatic ministries today
