Speaking Gifts in the Christian Assembly

By Gary Maske

From the introduction: "We need to talk. To one another. In the church. On Sunday morning. Not only on Sunday morning, but first and foremost on Sunday morning." Romans 12:3-8 indicates the speaking gifts-prophesying, teaching, exhorting, and ruling-are plentiful and to be used when the saints assemble as a church on the Lord's day. The book is in three parts. Part I is historical, pertaining to the church at the beginning of the age. Part II is polemical and refutes the clericalist tenets so predominant in church history. Part III: Ecclesiology, shows how NT teaching supports the I Corinthians 14 assembly model as the regular meeting of the church, over and against the "pulpit/pew" model. The author credits as his influences (in addition to the Word) George M ller and Henry Craik, Anthony Norris Groves, Edmund Hamer Broadbent, and G.H. Lang from among the Open Brethren, and Thomas Hughes Milner as well.
