Overview

Whatever happened to the sign-gifts used in the early days of the church such as speaking in tongues and divine healing? Did they end centuries ago, or are they still going on today (as some are claiming)? This book will help you answer those questions Biblically.

Regular Baptist Press first published Speaking in Tongues and Divine Healing in 1965, when the charismatic movement was in full swing. The book quickly became a classic in the field. Now, five decades later, we are pleased to rerelease it in a revised and expanded edition. Despite the many developments that have occurred over the past fifty years, the arguments first expounded in this book now updated and expanded by the author are still compelling and cogent.
