In [*Spiritual Maturity*](http://www.amazon.com/Spiritual-Maturity-Principles-Believer-Commitment/dp/080248252X), J. Oswald Sanders describes [Pentecost][1] as a reversal of [Babel][2]. [An online search][3] shows this to be a link made by others, and in a [related thesis on the topic][4], Paul J. Pastor goes as far as to claim:

> Pentecost as a reversal of Babel has been widely seen by exegetes since the early days of the Church.

Who are some of these early exegetes?
