PTH 635 : The Theology and Practice of Spiritual Gifts

Combines biblical (especially the Gospels and Paul's Letters), missiological, theological and pastoral insights to the charismata (gifts of the Spirit), presenting the biblical-theological basis for understanding and charismatic nature of the New Testament church and its ministry. Topics include developing biblical insights and principles for the use and praxis of spiritual gifts in the church. Emphasis is given for pastors and missionaries to grasp the sensitivities and unique needs of multi-cultural churches, especially as it relates to spiritual gifts. Most importantly, the development of gift ministry in our own lives is emphasized, encouraged and practiced. Cross-listed with BTH 635 and PCS 635.
