God's Gift of Tongues

By George W. Zeller

Book Overview

In considering this controversial theme, the author had a fivefold intent: To examine every passage in the New Testament dealing with the gift of tongues. To consider the significance of tongues in the Old Testament. The Apostle Paul indicated that God's purpose for the gift of tongues could be discovered in the Law (1 Corinthians 14:21-22). To study the gift of tongues from a dispensational point of view, in light of God's marvelous and yet distinctive programs for both Israel and the Church. To provide a definitive answer to the difficult question, When did tongues cease? To apply the rich truths of this study to the proper functioning and conduct of the local assembly of believers today.

A good biblical survey of speaking in tongues

Zeller shows how speaking in tongues was a sign of judgment throughout the Old Testament (Gen 11; Deut 28:49) and even in the New Testament (1 Cor 14:22). He didn't convince me that the gift is largely nonexistent today. But he came close. And he did convince me that it is less prevalent than it used to be.
