The Language of God

Writing to his parents while imprisoned on the day of Pentecost, the German Dietrich Bonhoeffer said this:

At the tower of Babel all the tongues were confounded, and as a result men could no longer understand one another as they all spoke different languages. This confusion is now brought to an end by the language of God, which is universally intelligible and the only means of mutual understanding among men. And the church is the place where that miracle happens.
