Author : Jack Deere

Jack Deere is an American theologian, pastor, and author, renowned for his transformative journey from a cessationist background to a charismatic faith experience. Initially serving as a professor at Dallas Theological Seminary, Deere was a staunch advocate of cessationism—the belief that the miraculous gifts of the Holy Spirit ceased with the apostolic age. However, his spiritual journey took a dramatic turn after personal encounters and extensive scriptural study led him to embrace the continued work of the Holy Spirit in contemporary Christian life. This paradigm shift deeply influenced his writing and ministry, culminating in notable works such as "Surprised by the Power of the Spirit," where he recounts his experience and provides theological support for the modern-day operation of spiritual gifts. Deere's unique vantage point, bridging conservative evangelical theology and charismatic renewal, makes his contributions particularly compelling and accessible to a broad audience seeking a deeper understanding of the Holy Spirit's role today.
