Glossolalia is the generally unintelligible speech produced by some schizophrenics or individuals in a state of trance-like religious excitement. In the latter context, “speaking in tongues” is often interpreted as a sign of possession by a supernatural spirit or conversation with divine beings. There are several references to the phenomenon in the New Testament, including an account of such an occurrence among followers of Jesus at Pentecost. What other religions practice forms of glossolalia? Discuss
