In this short book Dr. Stephen Zemanek offers a simple examination of the biblical text itself regarding spiritual gifts. Within these pages the reader will not find a specific denominational position. Nor does Dr. Zemanek try to push a personal agenda. This is simply a short book providing a basic platform for discussions on spiritual gifts in the 21st century. Whether or not you believe spiritual gifts are still in operation we can agree that the 1st century church saw them in operation. This book is written in three sections: -What the Bible teaches about the spiritual gifts coming to an end following first century (this will be the shortest section). -What the Bible teaches about the operation of spiritual gifts within the church. -The distinction between corporate spiritual gifts and personal baptism. Regardless of your personal opinion on spiritual gifts in the 21st century you will enjoy this examination by Dr. Stephen Zemanek.
