Regulations Concerning Tongues and Prophecy in 1 Corinthians 14.26-40 (e-book) (used book) | bookbook.eu
Reviews
Description
In this book Hiu firstly examines the background to the gifts of tongues and prophecy with a comprehensive assessment of the historical evidence, both primary and secondary, finding that tongues is a uniquely Christian phenomenon and that 'New Testament prophecy' is best considered as a direct extension of Old Testament prophecy. Hiu moves on to define and describe the functions of both tongues and prophecy in the New Testament to form a coherent understanding of the context and intent of Paul's regulations in 1 Cor 14.26-40. The socio-religious context of the known New Testament churches is then examined to determine if these regulations are applicable in non-Corinthian congregations. This ties in with a wider debate in Pauline scholarship surrounding whether Paul intended Corinthians to be only addressed to the church at Corinth or also to a secondary audience. Finally, Hiu concludes that Paul's regulations in 1 Corinthians are aptly applicable in all known New Testament churches. The natural inference is that these regulations may be considered further in application to contemporary Christian churches.
