Summary: Does Sufficiency Contradict Authority?
Comment: Robertson has produced a fairly careful book with an irenic tone. However, insofar as as he argues for cessationism as an entailment of the sufficiency of Scripture, it had better be the case that Scripture permits cessationism. But that is not so obvious, in view of I Corinthians 1 and 13. Absent a demonstration that these passages permit cessationism--and I don't expect to see such a demonstration--Robertson's doctrine of the sufficiency of Scripture will appear to contradict the authority of Scripture. Such a conflict would prove Robertson's doctrine of sufficiency self-contradictory. The book is certainly worth reading, and pleasantly brief, but I doubt that it will persuade those not already inclined toward its cessationist position.

Summary: Best Cessationist Text in Print
Comment: O. Palmer Robertson has written a very succint book on the doctrine of the cessation of revelatory gifts. He deftly traces the prophetic office from the Old Covenant into the New and finds its completion in the "prophet like unto Moses," the Lord Jesus Christ. He also correctly identifies biblical "tongues" as a subset of prophecy from the Book of Acts and demonstrates biblically how the gift of tongues and prophecy were anticipated to cease even in New Testament times with the completed canon of Scripture. Biblical theology at its best - highly recommended.
