'Renton Maclachlan has written what I regard as an outstanding contribution to the literature on this subject. I highly recommend this book.' Dr Ronald Nash, Professor of Philosophy and Theology, Reformed Theological Seminary, Orlando, Florida, and, Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, Louisville, Kentucky. USA The thesis of 'Tongues Revisited: A Third Way' is: That Biblical Tongues are normal human languages, normally learnt and normally spoken. Glossa (Greek) = tongue = language Acts 2 Acts 2 clearly refers to normal human languages being spoken, and these were spoken directly to the hearers without interpretation/translation required. Were these normal human languages normally spoken - that is having been learnt through normal means and thus already known to the speakers before the events described, or supernaturally spoken - that is unlearnt and unknown to the speakers prior to that time, the speakers having received a supernatural ability to speak languages they had not learnt? It is assumed by most that whatever languages the disciples spoke, they spoke without having learnt them. However, the text does not say this anywhere. It is proposed the disciples already knew the languages they spoke that day and had acquired them through the normal means of language learning. It is also proposed the languages spoken by the disciples that day numbered only two or three. It is geographical regions encompassing both the Eastern and Western Diaspora of the Jews, and ethnic groups, which are listed, not languages. Further, it is proposed a cultural/linguistic factor called a 'diglossia' was at work in the situation. The enabling of the Spirit was to overcome the effects of this diglossia. In brief, the term diglossia refers to a situation where several languages are used in the culture, but are reserved for distinctly different roles. One language will most likely be the language of ceremony and learning - the 'high' language. The other language (perhaps 'languages') being the everyday vernacular - the 'low' language/s. William Tyndale was burnt at the stake for violating a diglossia, by translating the Bible from Latin (high language) into English (low language). It is proposed a diglossia prevailed in 1st Century Israel with Hebrew as the high language - the 'Holy Tongue', and Aramaic and Greek being the 'low' languages - Aramaic being the primary language of Israel and the Eastern Diaspora, and Greek being the language of the Western Diaspora. Acts 10 Acts 10 describes a meeting of people in a multilingual situation. There was at least one shared language, presumably Aramaic, but also a non-shared language, presumably Latin. Peter heard some speech he understood (in Aramaic) and some speech he did not understand…Romans talking among themselves in Latin. From the speech that he understood, he deduced Cornelius and friends (non-Jews) had become believers, and if so, they had received the Holy Spirit. This was a severe cultural challenge to Peter and the other Jewish believers in Jerusalem, and is why the Lord prepared Peter by giving him a vision, and why Peter had to defend himself before a church council. 1 Corinthians 12-14 It is proposed the situation being addressed in 1 Corinthians 12-14 (in particular chapter 14), was simply how to edify the multilingual Corinthian church. It is also proposed there was underlying ethnic tension in this church (thus the need for chapter 13) which expressed itself in the way various languages were viewed, and used in their meetings. The approach taken enables several of the perennial problem texts in 1 Corinthians 14 to be resolved in very straightforward ways. Revelation The word 'glossa' is used eight times in the book of Revelation. On seven of those occasions it clearly refers to normal human languages, normally learnt and normally spoken. 'Tongues Revisited: A Third Way' applies that same idea consistently to every other usage of the term in the

This is a gold mine...an outstanding exposition on the true nature of Biblical tongues. Take it from an ex-charismatic who spoke in "tongues" for nearly 20 years…and pushed the doctrine to its logical conclusion.The author's explanation of the "other tongues" of Acts 2 is revolutionary…and right on. The historical cultural context has been completely overlooked by contemporary theologians and exegetes. Every other passage on the subject is covered by the author with equally great discernment.Here's some quick insight into just how far off the charismatic church is on the subject. When Paul said in 1 Cor 14:4 that "he who speaks in an unknown tongue [language] edifies himself," he wasn’t exhorting church members to practice some private prayer language for personal edification. The statement, left in context, carries the exact opposite tone. Paul was correcting their childish understanding and ignorance of spiritual things. "I could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, and as unto babes in Christ." (1 Cor. 3:1) He just got done, in chap 13, speaking about love, and how it seeks not its own. On the heels of that, in chapter 14, he proceeds to make an argument for speaking in church in a way others present can understand and be edified by. In the midst of making that argument he says, “he who speaks in an unknown tongue [language] edifies *himself.” In other words, "you are edifying yourself when you should be edifying the church.” It was a word of correction. He was promoting order in the church. Speak so others can understand and be edified. That’s it. There’s no hidden message advocating a private prayer language. Paul spoke several languages, and always chose the one his audience could understand, and hence be edified by.Having been trapped in contemporary dogma on this subject for so long, I can’t recommend this work too highly. There’s no need to be ignorant or confused on the subject any longer. Many will choose their contemporary, free-vocalization “experience” over the rightly divided Word of God. That’s unfortunate. But it’s not because the author here didn’t do an excellent and exhaustive job of reconciling the subject with the rest of the Word of God and avoiding contradictions and self-refuting statements. (Note: This is not about cessationism.)In the early 20th century, a group of people in Topeka, KS sought for a sign, and for the gift of tongues. They missed the mark. This book brings us back on course.

By Amazon Customer Let me just put is simply, finally after 100 plus years of Pentecostal confusion and delusion, sanity prevails on this subject. Maclachlan's interpretation reconciles St. Paul's seemingly contradictory statements; "I speak in tongues more than you all" and "I would rather speak five words with my understanding, that I may teach others also, than ten thousand words in a tongue." After many years of study on the subject and coming to the same conclusion, I found this book to put it all in perspective with irrefutable reasoning and scholarly research. Hopefully this book will prove the deliverance of many a "tonguer."
