Description

John Owen’s Discourse of Spiritual Gifts is the only full-length treatment of this vital subject by any of the major Puritan authors. 

The greatest of the Puritan theologians covers the following topics: 

1. Spiritual Gifts, Their Names and Signification 
2. Differences Between Spiritual Gifts and Saving Grace 
3. Of Gifts and Offices Extraordinary; and First of Offices 
4. Extraordinary Spiritual Gifts, 1 Corinthians 12:4-11 
5. The Original, Duration, Use, and End, of Extraordinary Spiritual Gifts 
6. Of Ordinary Gifts of the Spirit — the Grant, Institution, Use, Benefit, End, and Continuance of the Ministry 
7. Of Spiritual Gifts Enabling the Ministry to the Exercise and Discharge of Their Trust and Office 
8. Of the Gifts of the Spirit With Respect Unto Doctrine, Worship, and Rule — How Attained and Improved 

He observes, 

“A soul sanctified by saving grace, is the only proper soil for gifts to flourish in. Grace influenceth gifts unto a due exercise, prevents their abuse, stirs them up unto proper occasions, keeps them from being a matter of pride or contention, and subordinates them in all things unto the glory of God. When the actings of grace and gifts are inseparable, as when in prayer the Spirit is a spirit of grace and supplication, the grace and gift of it working together, when utterance in other duties is always accompanied with faith and love, then is God glorified, and our own salvation promoted. Then have edifying gifts a beauty and lustre upon them, and generally are most successful, when they are clothed and adorned with humility, meekness, a reverence of God, and compassion for the souls of men.”
