Thanks, Andrew. I also have a book review on a volume coming from the opposite perspective, though it seeks to posit a less rigid cessationism (the authors refer to it as progressive cessationism). The book review was published in Pneuma: The Journal of the Society for Pentecostal Studies and can be found here: http://www.calvinlsmith.com/2009/09/review-of-whos-afraid-of-holy-spirit.html

Hi Calvin

This is very interesting. I found a book by Jon Ruthven 'On the Cessation of the Charismata' which made some important points about historical cessationism. http://www.regent.edu/acad/schdiv/faculty_staff/ruthven.shtml

My own interest is in comparing the rise of cessationism with loss of belief in miracles through the Enlighenment to the rise of belief in evolution and rejection of creationism.

I am guessing though that the current renewed interest in creationism is partly mirrored by the growth in pentecostalism and the charismatic movement.
