"What are the 'spiritual gifts'?" "Did the supernatural gifts of the Spirit cease after the Bible was completed?" "How do I know what my spiritual gifts are and how to best use them?" In this Dojo Discussion we welcome back our friend Dr. Kenneth Berding, New Testament scholar from Talbot School of Theology in Los Angeles to discuss an area of passion for him for over 20 years now: The charismata (aka. Spiritual Gifts) in the New Testament. Books and articles mentioned: *What Are Spiritual Gifts?
