| Summary: | The prophetic interpreter -- Friendship with God : the cost and the reward -- Hosting God's power of life : Elijah and his gospel legacy -- The pain of seeing clearly : prophetic views of the created order -- Destroyers of the earth : prophetic critiques of imperial economics -- Witnessing in the midst of disaster : the ministry of Jeremiah -- The difficulties of revelation : prophecy as risk, challenge, and gift -- "Good and faithful servant" : Matthew reads Isaiah on prophetic discipleship -- Prophecy in interfaith context : reading biblical traditions in conversation with Islam. In this fresh and expansive work, Ellen Davis offers a comprehensive interpretation of the prophetic role and word in the Christian scriptures. Davis carefully outlines five essential features of the prophetic role and then systematically examines seven representations of prophets and prophecies. Thoroughly theological, Davis's volume provides both instruction and insight for understanding prophecy in Christian tradition and discipleship. This volume concludes with a rich discussion of practical matters, including the relationship between Christian discipleship and prophetic interpretation and the role of biblical prophecy in interfaith contexts |
