The Perfect Has Come: 1 Corinthians 13:8-12 and the End of the Miraculous Gifts in AD 70

The Perfect Has Come confronts one of the most debated passages in modern Christianity: 1 Corinthians 13:8-12. Drawing from his own journey out of charismatic theology, Michael J. Sullivan examines the long-standing debate over miraculous gifts and argues that it cannot be resolved apart from the imminent, first century eschatological context in which the apostle Paul wrote. By grounding Paul's teaching in its original covenantal, prophetic, and eschatological framework, The Perfect Has Come offers a clear and comprehensive exegetical explanation of when the miraculous gifts ceased-and why they were never intended to continue beyond the consummation of the old-covenant age.
