# Wayne Grudem
**Summary.** American evangelical systematic theologian. Author of *Systematic Theology* (1994) and *The Gift of Prophecy in the New Testament and Today*. Best known in NAR-critique contexts for providing the academic framework — distinguishing OT-binding prophecy from NT-fallible prophecy — that NAR leaders recruit to defend the office of prophet surviving failed predictions.

## Position to Note
Grudem is not NAR-aligned. He is complementarian, Reformed-leaning, and politically conservative but has publicly distanced himself from NAR practice. His framework is used by NAR; his commitments are not the same as theirs. Flag this carefully whenever citing.
## Gaps
- Stub only. Grudem's primary text on prophecy has not been ingested. Priority follow-up: *The Gift of Prophecy in the New Testament and Today* and any direct statement from Grudem on NAR's use of his framework.
