This is an examination of the background to the gift of tongues in
the light of Old Testament prophecy. 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. Hiu then demonstrates 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 which subsequently provides a
clear base from which to seek a coherent understanding of the
context and intent of Paul's regulations in 1 Cor 14.26-40.
Attention is then focused on the socio-religious context of the
known New Testament churches to determine if these regulations are
applicable in non-Corinthian congregations. This ties in with a
wider debate in Pauline scholarship surrounding whether Paul's
intent was for Corinthians to be only addressed to the church at
Corinth or whether he intended it to have a secondary audience
also. Finally, Hiu draws the conclusion that Paul's regulations in
1 Corinthians are aptly applicable in all known New Testament
churches and that the Corinthian situation is not unique. The
natural inference is thereby that these regulations may be
considered further in application to Christian churches in a
contemporary setting. Formerly the Journal for the Study of the New
Testament Supplement , a book series that explores the many aspects
of New Testament study including historical perspectives,
social-scientific and literary theory, and theological, cultural
and contextual approaches, The Early Christianity in Context
series, a part of JSNTS , examines the birth and development of
early Christianity up to the end of the third century CE. The
series places Christianity in its social, cultural, political and
economic context. European Seminar on Christian Origins and Journal
for the Study of the Historical Jesus Supplement are also part of
JSNTS .
