| Σύνοψη: | In Speaking in Tongues: A Critical Historical Examination, Blosser and Sullivan argue that the glossolalic interpretation of tongues was an invention of the early Pentecostals aided by rationalistic higher critics in ignorance of the ecclesial tradition of tongues as xenolalia. The author here argues against Blosser and Sullivan that the early Pentecostal account of tongues was a rediscovery rather than an invention; the higher critical account of tongues as glossolalia was not due to rationalistic bias but a fresh reading of Scripture in historical context; and the patristic tradition shows evidence of glossolalic tongues in the early centuries with the xenolalic interpretation only emerging after a decline in charismatic gifts. |
