Abstract

- 50- THOMAS AQUINAS AND PROPHECY by James G. King, Jr. The doctrine of spiritual gifts tends to be portrayed by Pentecostals as a third alternative; Fundamentalism with its antipathy toward modern charismata and Liberalism with its skepticism of biblical supernatural claims are seen as the unac- ceptable choices. To develop the doctrine of gifts in this light, however, is to ignore over sixteen centuries of theology. Ex- tensive treatment was given to the subject by various theologians and pietists during the patristic, medieval and early Protestant eras.1 Many of these still influence Catholic, Orthodox and Protestant thought. lThe diversity of beliefs which have existed in the Church are surveyed by James G. King, Jr., "Historical Believes Regarding Gifts of the Spirit," an unpublished paper presented to the 1977 meeting of the Society for Pentecostal Studies. James G. King, Jr., is a Ph.D. candidate at New York University. He is a minister in the Assemblies of God. - 51- Thomas Aquinas (122?-12?4?) is a significant example of a leading theologian who wrote extensively on the charismata.
