Description
Summary:The task of understanding Paul’s theology of charisms presents one of a number of difficulties because not all the uses of the word “charisma” in the Pauline corpus offer the same perspective. This work explores two texts where Apostle Paul develops most fully his idea of charisms in connection with the concept of the Church as the body of Christ. This book comes at a time when the reality of the charismatic movement in the Church needs to be better understood and appreciated.
