reading opens the text to a wider range of possible meanings or interpreta-
tions. For further discussion, see Jacqueline Grey, Three’s a Crowd:
Pentecostalism, Hermeneutics, and the Old Testament (Eugene, OR:
Pickwick Publications, 2011). - This is not to claim that the Pentecostal experience of speaking in tongues
is precisely the glossolalia described in Acts 2, but to note that the early
Pentecostals identifi ed it as such. - Archer, A Pentecostal Hermeneutic , 199.

Isaiah. He notes that of the 200 or so personal names found in southern
Palestine from this period, there are names identifi able as not just Jewish

Exile,” Journal for the Study of the Old Testament 29.3 (2005): 369. - While recognising the minefi eld of textual and authorial issues in reading

writings as an exilic work most likely prior to that of Third Isaiah. - Walter Brueggemann, Isaiah 40–66 (WBC, Kentucky: Westminster John
