Speaking in Tongues: A Critical Historical Examination, Volume 2

Tongues through Church History

By: Philip E. Blosser,Charles A. Sullivan

In three carefully researched volumes, this ground-breaking study examines the gift of tongues through two thousand 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; (2) the church’s perennial understanding of “tongues” as ordinary human languages; and (3) the Corinthian “tongues,” which, in light of Jewish liturgical tradition, turn out to have been a Semitic liturgical language requiring bilingual interpreters. This second volume tracks the perception and practice of tongues back through the first eighteen hundred years of church history, demonstrating that “tongue-speaking” was always active but puzzlingly different from today’s glossolalia. From Pope Benedict XIV’s detailed treatise in the 1700s, it works back through long-forgotten scholastic and patristic debates to the earliest Christian writers such as Irenaeus. No other resource on the subject approaches the depth and scope of the present volume.

Speaking in Tongues: A Critical Historical Examination

Volume 1: The Modern Redefinition of Tongues

By: Philip E. Blosser,Charles A. Sullivan

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; (2) the church’s perennial understanding of “tongues” as ordinary human languages; and (3) the Corinthian “tongues,” which, in light of Jewish liturgical tradition, turn out to have been a foreign liturgical language (Hebrew or Aramaic) requiring bilingual interpreters. 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.

A Public Faith

Pastor and Professor

A Public Faith

By: Donald Blosser

Pastor and Professor is one pastor's story of a rich life filled with experiences that tested his faith and demanded growth that was both exhilarating and painful. It is the personal story of moving from faith as right doctrinal belief to faith as a liberating response to a loving God--a God who is always with us, continually drawing us into the future. This dynamic understanding of faith is based on the belief that the kingdom of God is a present reality where followers of Jesus are to be pastoral in spirit while prophetic in living. Don Blosser weaves personal experience with public expression of an emerging faith that wrestles candidly with the realities of life and deals with the pastor/professor tension of integrating academic scholarship in the classroom with pastoral proclamation in the pulpit. Pastor and Professor invites the reader to share a journey where faith is often challenged, sometimes doubted, yet lived with enthusiasm as it is shared from the pulpit and in the college classroom. It invites the reader to find fresh insights in the Scriptures, and to live with new hope, to embrace life more fully, and to share more gently one's own story with others.

Positively Medieval

The Surprising, Dynamic, Heroic Church of the Middle Ages

By: Jamie Blosser

Discover the Bible-believing, Jesus-centered, morally pure Christianity of the Middle Ages Superstitious peasants and relic-hawking clergy—if this says Medieval Christianity to you, then think again. Not only were those years filled with dynamic Catholic leaders and thinkers, but they flourished in times very like our own: an increasingly secular culture hostile to Christianity, threats to religious liberty, scandal in the Church, cultural degradation and more. In Positively Medieval you’ll encounter some of the leading figures of the time, men and women who not only passed on the torch of Christian faith, but also rebuilt society in the wake of the barbarian invasions. Their energetic response to very dark times will inspire you to meet today’s challenges with the same smart, creative, clear-eyed confidence.

Meeting Jesus

Common People. . .Uncommon Stories

By: Donald Blosser

“These stories describe in a beautiful, human way the mystery of the gospels. Never before have I been so helped in my faith journey by stories of doubt, hope, and uncertainty for persons whom God used to fulfill his plans. These stories reflect the real world that all of us live in. I recommend them for all who live in the daily chaos of uncertainty in their faith journey. These stories will inspire and encourage us as we read.” —Olive Hobson Northern Ireland The most significant bridge in history is the human story. How better to appreciate the power of the gospels than to hear them told by a master storyteller. These stories come alive as told through that rare combination of an academic’s mind and a pastor’s heart. —Dr. James E Brenneman President, Goshen College, Goshen IN. In Meeting Jesus Don Blosser has crafted a rich anthology of common folks and their uncommon encounters with Jesus. These stories reach far beyond the days of the New Testament. They awaken our interest in familiar biblical texts and inspire us as we ponder our own meetings with those who reflect the light of Christ. As we read, may we marvel at Jesus’ love for the ordinary, and find ourselves in these pages. —Anita Rediger Pastor, Emmaus Road Mennonite Fellowship, Berne, IN. Written in first person and using fresh, modern language, these stories bring ancient texts to life. They open new insights and emotions through imagination and inspiration. —Don Yost Founder, Bridgework Theater, Communications Director Maple City Health Center, Goshen, IN.
