Thanks -- this is hilarious!
I suppose it's just as well he had the Spirit to help him read, since he was only semi-literate....
Ben,
A well known "Wigglesworthism." Yes, he didn't learn to read until he was in his mid-20s and claimed he never read any book but the Bible. His theology was a bit eccentric at some points, but he had an intimacy with God that others can only dream about. I personally read the biblical text in Greek, Hebrew, Latin (and English), but wish I read it "in the Holy Spirit" more often :(
You will probably never find Wigglesworth mentioned in a theology textbook, but I suspect he had more to do with the downfall of cessationism than anyone else in the 20th century.
