Abstract
AbstractThis contribution aims to explain the controversy about glossolalia between the members of the Corinthian church and Paul. Corinthian glossolalia will be placed in the context of ancient texts on voice and language from medicine, philosophy, grammar, rhetoric and music and – taking up Bleek’s thesis – connected with expressions called “glosses”. The glossolalia is thus placed in the realm of the use of language in poetry. Paul uses arguments from philosophical polemics against poetry and places language exclusively in the realms of justice and truth.
