An increasing number of Christians are coming face to face with the issue of the supernatural in ministry. It is true that Christianity is supernatural - as is being a Christian. But what does the Bible teach about the 'signs and wonders' theology which is appealing to so many evangelicals today? And what place do these phenomena have in effective Gospel Ministry?
Three eminent scholars closely examine the teachings of evangelist John Wimber, a leader in the 'signs and wonders' movement. In Part 1, John Woodhouse reviews Wimber's theology as it relates to modern Christianity. In part 2, Paul Barnett analyses the 'signs and wonders' phenomena based on the writings of the apostle Paul in the New Testament. Part 3 is a historical perspective of Christianity by Paul Reid.
Brought together by the conclusions of editor Robert Doyle, the result is a careful evaluation of the teaching of John Wimber on 'signs and wonders' in the light of the truths of the Scriptures.
