Giveaway: Speaking in Tongues: A Critical Historical Examination: Volume 1:

This is only open to those with a USA mailing address. There is absolutely no cost to enter.

This is your chance to receive a new copy of Speaking in Tongues: A Critical Historical Examination: Volume 1: The Modern Redefinition of Tongues by Philip E. Blosser & Charles A. Sullivan. It costs just under $35.

“In three carefully researched volumes, this ground-breaking study examines the gift of tongues through 2,000 years of church history. Starting in the present and working back in time, these volumes consider (1) the modern redefinition of ‘tongues’ as a private prayer language…

“In the first volume, the authors establish that modern glossolalia, far from being a supernatural gift enjoyed by certain believers since the time of Pentecost and undergoing a resurgence in modern times, has no precedent in church life prior to the nineteenth century. They discuss why German theologians, responding to the Irvingite revival, coined the term ‘glossolalia’ in the 1830s; why Pentecostals between 1906–8 quietly began redefining ‘tongues’ to mean a heavenly language unintelligible to human beings but pleasing to God, instead of foreign languages useful for evangelism; why Protestant cessationists believed miraculous tongues had ceased; and why interpolated idioms like ‘unknown tongues’ in Protestant Bibles were aimed originally at Rome’s use of Latin.”

One of the authors, Charles Sullivan, has a website where much information about speaking in tongues is posted. I am unsure how much is included in the book.

This giveaway is a drawing. To enter, just leave a comment to show you wish to be included. The drawing will close on July 17, 2024 at 6pm (eastern time), after which I will draw a winner.

Be sure to check back to see if you have won as in the past some people have not responded after winning and so a new winner had to be drawn.

Don’t be alarmed if your comment does not immediately show as it may require approval.

  1. I would love a copy of this book for me and my children. We were in an independent Apostolic holiness cult and are looking for safe material and resources to deconstruct what we were indoctrinated into for so long.

    1. Would love to continue in my studies of this this controversial topic. Blessings!

  2. Please include me in this drawing for the book Speaking in Tongues. I check you out each and every morning. You have made a big difference in my life..starting over …..

  3. I would love a copy most of my family has had this gift and it would be good to read it without judgment

  4. I have been studying about this because a Pastor preached from the pulpit that the only way to get the Holy Ghost was to speak in tongues. I was upset because I don’t believe this but I thought maybe I was wrong and began to study. I have concluded that I was not wrong but would like to dig deeper into this. Thank you for this opportunity.

  5. My current study for disentangling is Oneness… but my next is tongues! I’d love to get this book. Any idea when the next 2 volumes are scheduled to be released?

  6. Please include me in the drawing. This has been a current topic in discussion.
