Summary/Abstract: This article is a critical discussion of Andrzej Sionek’s book “Charyzmaty. Aktywna obecność Boga w Kościele” (Charisms: God’s Active Presence in the Church). Because millions of Christians of various denominations in today’s world experience the charismatic gifts of the Holy Spirit, the topic of the charisms, especially the gifts of speaking in tongues and of prophesying, has become very vibrant in the theological discourse. Andrzej Sionek, who himself is engaged in today’s charismatic movement, reveals to us the theological complexities of St. Paul’s texts in 1 Corinthians 12–14. Charisms did not belong solely to the early Church; Pentecost still goes on today, because Jesus is alive and active in His Church.
