Christians today face an array of questions and controversies about spiritual gifts. In this concise book, Tom Schreiner combines faithful biblical scholarship and great love for the Word of God. His arguments are clear, charitable, and compelling. I highly recommend it.

R. Albert Mohler Jr., president The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary

Tom Schreiner has written a well-balanced and compelling book on a qualified view of “cessationism.” His discussions are filled with solid biblical interpretation, biblical logic, wisdom, and an irenic spirit. This is quite a feat, since the subject matter is so debated among evangelicals. Even those who might disagree with Schreiner’s views will find his discussions profitable to read. I commend this reliable book. I will recommend it to others.

In Spiritual Gifts: What They Are & Why They Matter, not only does Tom Schreiner build a convincing case for the cessationist position, he shows us how to address controversies in the church with humble charity, biblical clarity, and theological conviction. This book sweeps away misconceptions, upholds the sufficiency of Scripture, and drives us to reflect again on the biblical text. Even those who don’t fully agree will profit from this work.
