Speaking in Tongues - This History of Glossolalia from Early Christianity to the Present

📖 The Scoop

This study focuses on the history of speaking in tongues ("glossolalia") without regard for differences of denomination. Under consideration are Christian theologians, leaders, clergy and prominent protestant figures in light of their viewpoints through the centuries to the present. Our objective is to trace the occurrences of glossolalia in the world primarily within the Christian tradition without regard for denomination or church dogma. For many believers, the baptism of the Holy Ghost and speaking in tongues is a concurrent event. However, for the purposes of discovery and to follow the tradition from the day of Pentecost, we will attempt to follow tongues through the centuries. The purpose is to show if speaking in tongues occurred in Christian history without interruption and if its practice was a necessity for salvation as some churches and theologians have taught and continue to the current era.
