Turner discredited the statement that speaking in “tongues of the New Testament was ecstatic, nonlinguistic speech, while Luke recognized them as ‘xenolalia.’” Paul considered Xenolalia because it was unknown to the speaker. Turner argues three points in details: tongues, prophecy, and healing. The author proceeds to differentiate between modern tongues with speaking in tongues of the New Testament. “The gifts of the Spirit are all prophetic, wisdom, revelation guidance, and oracular speech…

Hirsch considers the Bible so important to cultural literacy that it appears first in his Dictionary of Cultural Literacy. Studying the New Testament is essential to becoming culturally literate in the modern world. The New Testament has shaped our view of art, literature, law, education and even music and much more.

Sider also views the texts he pulls…

Then there was a question “What books of the bible in the New Testament start with the letter p?” I buzzed, and proudly said “Philippians, Philemon, first Peter, and second Peter.” That was all I said during the entire time period I was on stage.

I am learning how to break down and also how to investigate the meanings of words in reference to my reading and understanding of the Word of God.

First, it should be understood that…
