Preview A Theology of Tongues: A Biblical and Historical Understanding of Speaking in Tongues
Description:
Among evangelicals the sensitive topic of speaking in tongues is often avoided in conversation due to the vast differences in beliefs and practices of Christians across the globe. Over the past century, the belief in and practice of speaking in glossia or "ecstatic utterances" has grown to be accepted by the greater Christian community. Yet, those who practice tongues and those who do not both struggle with a theological definition and understanding of this spiritual gift. While Christians agree that God gave the gift of "tongues" in the first century, many are left to question the purpose of these "tongues," how they were to be used, and if this gift of the Spirit continues to be normative today.The purpose of this book is to provide a concise exposition of speaking in tongues through a biblical and historical analysis. "A Theology of Tongues" seeks to be sensitive to the differing positions in this debate, but give a fair and thorough treatment on speaking in tongues. Through these short pages, the reader will be confronted with the truths needed to take a biblical stance on this topic.
Review: "While the author writes convincingly on his perspective/conviction on the issue of tongues, he does so very fairly and from a clear look at Scripture and of history. Would recommend this as a cause for careful consideration by those who have been taught to practice speaking in "tongues" and as a reference for those concerned with unhelpful teaching on the subject."- Scott Z
