Synopsis

The Zondervan Biblical and Theological Lectures series provides a unique audio learning experience. Unlike a traditional audiobook's direct narration of a book's text, Spiritual Gifts: Audio Lectures includes high quality live-recordings of college-level lectures that cover the important points from each subject as well as relevant material from other sources.What are spiritual gifts?Author and pastor Sam Storms has spent several decades teaching on the topic of the spiritual gifts and equipping believers in the faithful practice of God's gifts. Yet there remains a great deal of confusion about the nature of the gifts and how they best function in the body of Christ.In these audio lectures on the spiritual gifts, Storms addresses the many bizarre and misleading interpretations that abound and confronts the tendency to downplay the urgency of spiritual gifts for Christian living and ministry. He explains how spiritual gifts, both the more miraculous and the somewhat mundane, are given to build up the body of Christ. God has graciously provided these "manifestations of the Spirit" so that believers might encourage, edify, strengthen, instruct, and console one another, all with a view to an ever-increasing, incremental transformation into the image of Jesus Christ.Storms unpacks the glorious truth that there is a supernatural and divine energy or power that fills and indwells the body and soul of every born-again believer. God does not call upon us to speculate about the nature of this power or to embrace it as a mere idea. His desire is that we avail ourselves of it to partner with him in his purposes on the earth. His desire is that we cry out to him that he might intensify, expand, increase, and deepen the manifestation of this power through us in ever more demonstrative and tangible ways in our lives.Understanding Spiritual Gifts addresses common questions about the gifts and provides practical training for using and exercising the gifts in ministry. It is perfect for any individual or group who wants to grow in their understanding of the gifts for today.

Goodreads review by Philip on July 06, 2021

I'm so glad Storms put this together. So good to have a single resource by him on this topic. It's more broad than Grudem's 'The Gift of Prophecy' and doesn't have some of the theological eccentricities of Deere's 'Surprised by the Power of the Spirit' (though both are excellent books in their own r......more

Goodreads review by George P. on September 01, 2020

Understanding Spiritual Gifts by Sam Storms describes itself as a “comprehensive guide” to the topic. Its author describeshimself as “an Amillennial, Calvinistic, charismatic, credo-baptistic, complementarian, Christian Hedonist.” which helps you understand his theological and ecclesiological point......more

Goodreads review by Kirk on March 25, 2024

Excellent book! Well researched, thought out, and thoroughly biblical. I don’t agree with everything here, but he has persuasive arguments and is kind to those he uses to point out counter-examples. We need more authors like Sam Storms.......more

Goodreads review by Matt on April 27, 2022

I came to this book as a “cautious continuationist” (or maybe more accurately a “skeptical continuationist”). But after reading this book I’d say I’m now a “questioning continuationist.” The structure of this book is basically 1) arguments for continuationism and 2) an explanation of each of the spi......more

This was articulate, logical, and written with a great dose of common sense. Enjoyed this much more than his book on spiritual warfare which seemed to extrapolate from data further than I was comfortable with.......more
