This work analyzes charismatic claims to continuing prophetic revelation today by considering key charismatic texts in the New Testament. Gentry shows by careful analysis of charismatic arguments that the gift of prophecy in the Apostolic church involved inspired revelation and that the gift ceased with the closing of the canon.

A technical study on issues arising in the interpretation of the Book of Revelation. This book takes the position that Revelation was a prophecy regarding the approaching destruction of the Jewish temple in AD 70. The studies within demonstrate the significance of AD 70 in redemptive-history as the old covenant closes and the new covenant opens. It argues that John is taking upon himself the prophetic mantle and is following the pattern of the Old Testament prophets who rebuke Israel for unfaithfulness to God.
