{"product_id":"the-gifts-of-god-and-paul-douglas-gardner-9781532602184","title":"The Gifts of God and the Authentication of a Christian","description":"Through an exegetical examination of 1 Corinthians 8-11:1, a central hypothesis is developed that seeks to facilitate a coherent understanding of these chapters and clarify their place in the epistle as a whole. It is suggested that in the Corinthian church the gifts of the Spirit, and most notably the gift of \"knowledge,\" had come to be regarded by the so-called \"strong\" as authenticators of their secure status in the covenant community. Paul argued that spiritual gifts could not and should not function in this way. Rather, for the apostle, it is \"love\" for God and for the community that alone can function in this way.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Paul Douglas Gardner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1532602189\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781532602184\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Wipf \u0026amp; Stock Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/20\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 232\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.61lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.40w x 0.60d","brand":"Paul Douglas Gardner","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44067185361151,"sku":"9781532602184","price":31.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e3c30bc5-6867-4d09-9bea-73d9883932b5.jpg?v=1685411708","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-gifts-of-god-and-paul-douglas-gardner-9781532602184","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
