A Biblical Case for Cessationism

Why the Miraculous Gifts of the Spirit Have Ceased.

Did God intend for the miraculous gifts, so powerfully present during the apostles' ministry, to continue throughout church history? This crucial question has implications for every follower of Jesus Christ. Sadly, the debate over this question has often generated more heat than light. But in the end, only one factor should determine how we answer: What does the Bible say?

In A Biblical Case for Cessationism, Tom Pennington carefully considers seven key biblical arguments that affirm the cessation of the miraculous gifts of the Spirit. As an experienced pastor and faithful expositor, Tom will help you consider what the Scriptures teach on a topic that affects every aspect of the Christian experience—from your view of Scripture and the philosophy of church ministry, to your daily walk as a disciple of Jesus Christ and your relationship with the Holy Spirit.
