Voices from the Gods: Speaking in Tongues by David E. Murray (Used Paperback, 1991 Edition)
 
Voices from the Gods by David E. Murray offers a fascinating anthropological and theological examination of speaking in tongues—a phenomenon found in Pentecostal Christianity and many indigenous spiritual traditions around the world. Drawing on fieldwork in the Caribbean and scholarly analysis, Murray explores how glossolalia functions as both a spiritual experience and a cultural expression of divine encounter. This book challenges readers to reconsider the assumptions surrounding ecstatic speech and to see tongues as a complex, meaning-rich practice with deep roots in human spirituality.
