Throughout his letters, the apostle Paul consistently references signs, wonders, visions, miracles, divine healings, prophecies, and speaking in tongues. This book examines Paul's repertoire of divinatory and wonderworking practices and contextualizes them in their historical milieu. Furthermore, the book situates such practices within a framework of reciprocity that dominated human-divine relationships in antiquity. Insofar as Paul extends miraculous abilities to his gentile followers, these wondrous abilities come in proportion to their faithfulness.

In much of the scholarship on Paul, activities such as speaking in tongues, prophecy, and miracle healings are either ignored or treated as singular occurrences. Typically, these practices are categorized in such a way that shields Paul and his followers from the influence of so-called paganism. In Signs, Wonders, and Gifts, Jennifer Eyl masterfully argues that Paul did, in fact, engage in range of divinatory and wonder-working practices that were widely recognized and accepted across the ancient Mediterranean. Eyl redescribes, reclassifies, and recontextualizes Paul's repertoire vis-á-vis such widespread, similar practices. Situating these activities within the larger framework of reciprocity that dominated human-divine relationships in antiquity, she demonstrates that divine powers and divine communication were bestowed as benefactions toward Paul and his gentile followers in proportion to their faithfulness and loyalty.

Are Miraculous Gifts for Today? takes you to the heart of one of the most dividing questions in the Church today: how are the Holy Spirit’s miracles at work among God's people now? Is he still actively giving the gifts of tongues, prophecy, and healing that fill the book of Acts? Is he driving out demons when Christians command them to flee? Or are these events confined to the time of the early church and the apostles? This volume of the Counterpoints series provides an impartial format for comparing the four main positions on present-day miracles (including the history and distinctions between the three positions that affirm miraculous gifts) with voice also given to a large sector of open-but-cautious evangelicals: Cessationist: there are no miraculous gifts of the Holy Spirit today. Pentecostal: gifts are intended for today, with certain nuances focused on baptism and speaking in tongues. Charismatic: gifts are intended for today and should be actively practiced. Third Wave: gifts are intended for today, with greater emphasis on baptism and less on tongues. This thought-provoking book will help Christians on every side of the miraculous gifts debate to better understand their own position and the positions of others. The Counterpoints series presents a comparison and critique of scholarly views on topics important to Christians that are both fair-minded and respectful of the biblical text. Each volume is a one-stop reference that allows readers to evaluate the different positions on a specific issue and form their own, educated opinion.

The nature and availability of spiritual gifts can be confusing. Often, new believers study signs, wonders and miracles without knowing their purpose. Steven D. Graham, a veteran pastor and Bible teacher, wrote this book for those who earnestly want all God truly has to offer. In it, he establishes a biblical basis for understanding the reason for spiritual gifts and, in the process, explores what many find to be three of the most confusing chapters of the Bible: 1 Corinthians 12, 13, and 14. He answers questions about the "signs, wonders, and miracles" of the Bible and how they fit into God's plan (and therefore, His plan for you and me). By drawing on a sound study of God's Word, he leads new believers on the right path toward growth in Christ and away from the misguided approach that so many have taken. God is the creator of language, and as such, He is consistent, noncontradictory, and purposeful in all that He does. That purpose involves you and me and is revealed to those willing to search out these things diligently and skillfully.

There is nothing more tragic than to see the people of God living their lives devoid of the presence and power of God, believing that is the norm. It is sad to see churches that have gotten so used to having services without the manifest presence of God and the intervention of the Holy Spirit, that if God removed His Spirit from their midst, they would have a hard time telling the difference. Yet, a distant rumbling is being heard by those servants to whom God, in His divine sovereignty, has chosen to reveal it to. Perhaps the sound of the approaching storm, an outpouring of the Spirit of such dramatic proportions that will cause the greatest ingathering of souls this world has ever seen. This period will coincide with increasing turbulent times and horrible events that will cause the courage of many to falter. Millions will flock to the churches seeking help for multitudes of needs, but the church in its present condition cannot handle what is coming. These are just some of the reasons why I wrote this book. This book was written by someone who does not have just head knowledge, but someone who has walked in the realm of supernatural signs and wonders for thirty years. The difference is that as you read the information in this book, it will bring an impartation to your life to see sign and wonders in your life. I am only one of many God is raising up at this time to speak out and bring clarity to some important areas that have been ignored, rejected and neglected by the present day church leadership. The ministries of the apostle and prophet, which are being restored to their original place and function in the church, will bring healing and restoration to the Bride of Christ preparing her to take her rightful place in the world, as the glory of God is manifested on the earth. As this army of believers is raised up, trained and released into the great harvest, a revival of great proportions will take place, sweeping multitudes into the Kingdom. The transformation of the church from its present condition will be astounding. This book was written to help train believers in the area of supernatural signs and wonders, and it is loaded with practical information and valuable nuggets on important topics not easily found elsewhere. God has always used supernatural signs and wonders to authenticate a person, a message or an event. In the near future there will be signs and wonders happening in unprecedented numbers all over the world, as the end-time harvest takes place. If you want to learn more and move into the supernatural, this book is for you.
