초록/해제: 요약 : The use of the gift of prophecy in contemporary Pentecostal and Charismatic circles receives its full treatment in this research. As with any other gift, the gift of prophecy has been greatly used, and in some situations, abused by its users. Both the use and the abuse of the gift will be examined in the light of the teaching of the Bible. The critical evaluation is intended not to downplay the importance of the gift but to highlight its significance in the proper place.

초록/해제: 요약 : In chapter 1 the Old Testament teaching on prophecy was undertaken with a view to discovering its relation to the teaching found in the New Testament. Beginning with the terminology, salient features of Israelite prophecy were discussed along with its emphasis on form and content of the prophetic message. It was also discovered that like the priestly ministry, prophetic office also was looked upon as a gift of the Lord to the Israelites.

초록/해제: 요약 : In chapter 2, New Testament prophecy receives its full treatment beginning with the prophetic roles played by John the Baptist and Jesus of Nazareth. In Jesus, the Old Testament prophecies concerning the advent and the activities of the Messiah found their fulfillment. After his triumphant ascension into heaven he bestowed the gift of the Holy Spirit and through him all the grace gifts on his followers. This theme is taken up by Paul fully in his letters where the gift of prophecy is seen as one of the grace gifts of the Spirit that is available to all believers. Its main function was for the edification of the believing community. It was also discovered that the Christian prophets mainly functioned in the Christian communities.

초록/해제: 요약 : Chapter 3 discusses the use of the gift of prophecy in the history of the Church. It was discovered that though the gift of prophecy was prevalent in the church, false prophecies also posed a great threat. The early Church had to deal with the Montanist controversy in which aberrations were found. From then on the voice of prophecy was replaced by the ecclesiastical orthodoxy. By the time of the Reformation the Church dogma occupied a central stage and the spontaneous activity of the Spirit in prophecy was not regarded with any amount of importance. It was only in this modern era that the gift of prophecy, along with the other "spectacular" gifts of the Spirit, were found to be active in the movements associated with the classic Pentecostalism, Charismatic movement, and Signs and Wonders movement.

초록/해제: 요약 : A comparison of the gift of prophecy with Christian preaching receives its full treatment in the final chapter. There are similarities in matters of definition, method of receiving revelation, and form and content of the message. This does not mean that they are one and the same. There are apparent contrasts, but these contrasts are mainly semantic in nature. Paul's teaching on the gift of prophecy, as found in his writings, form the core of this research. It has been consistently observed that preachers today share the same responsibility as the prophets in communicating the word from the Lord to the people in their contemporary setting.
