FREE: Tongues - to speak or not to speak : a contemporary analysis of glossolia by Donald W. Burdick

The listing, Tongues - to speak or not to speak : a contemporary analysis of glossolia by Donald W. Burdick has ended.

Published by Moody Press, this book takes the then (late 1960s) Protestant evangelical position on glossolalia, that it is a psychological phenomenon and not a gift from God. If you agree with their theology, you'll like the book.

Another review: I reread this 1981 edition of Burdick’s 1969 book (Moody Press) for a lesson I was teaching on 1 Corinthians. I had forgotten how valuable and useful this small book can be for laymen struggling with the tongues issue. Burdick believes that tongues belonged to the list of miraculous gifts and that miracles passed off the scene at the same time as the office of Apostle.
One of the most helpful sections of the book is the one on non-Christian Glossolalia, in which he traces the many religions of the world, that make no claim to Christianity, but also speak in tongues. Also, the last section on possible explanations of modern glossolalia (ecstasy, hypnosis, demonic, psychological, exalted memory) allow the reader to see that such evaluation is possible. RCS

This is the 1969 version. Good condition, smoke-free home.
