The main question posed here is whether the Lukan account of tongues at Pentecost (lalein heterais glossais-`to speak in othertongues', Acts 2:4) refers to a phenomenon identical with the Corinthian experience described by Paul (lalein glosse-`to speak in tongues', i Cor 12 :30; 14:5, 6, 18, 23, 27, 40) . The Corinthian phenomenon has been most frequently interpreted as ecstatic utterance 2 , while the account of Pentecost in Acts 2 is thought to describe the miraculous ability of the Apostles on that occasion to speak in real languages proper to the country in which their listeners were born . The most widely accepted view finds expression in this confident statement written very early in this century
