Speaking With Tongues

An experiment in spiritual experience

The increasing frequency of the phenomenon of “speaking in tongues,” in the Roman Catholic and other Christian denominations, challenges one to outline a “theology” of this spiritual gift.

The book is about tongue speaking history from the first day of Pentecostal thru the centuries and ends when it was written, in the middle of the 1960 ties. Did you know that tongue speaking has always been present in the Orthodox Church, but that it in the Catholic Church, and many protestant churches it has been seen as a sign of evil? Simple facts like this is scattered all around the book.
The author writes about many different epochs and cultures. He is trying to explain some of the reasons of why tongue speaking is alien in churches. One of his theories has to do with viewing of the world in a materialistic vs. a spiritual way. It is also a case study, both of persons and of churches.

The book is interesting, exiting, very well written and easy read.
