This collection argues that the final form of prophetic texts attempts a picture of stability; of a new world that emerges in the aftermath of the turbulent experiences of Israel/Judah's history, sustained by a coherent community and identity. The essays within both describe and analyse the various categories of otherness in prophetic literature which threaten such an identity, displaying the complex and contradictory nature of such depictions -- particularly given the reality that these texts emerge from communities considered other. The contributors provides an interdisciplinary exploration of otherness that draws upon multiple insights into the conception and expression of the other, beyond obvious examples traditionally examined in Biblical Studies. Touching upon the rhetoric associated with identity markers such as space, race/ethnicity, gender and religious activity, Prophetic Otherness allows for further consideration of the ethics of the prophetic corpus, and its understanding of fairness and justice in relation to broad communities.

Finding Our Voice is a series of meditations on how to express the deepest sense of who we are in a troubled world. What is the core of our being? How do we find the language to name that core? If the core of our faith is identifying and embodying the prophetic for our time, surviving that naming is as challenging as finding our voice. Often as not, the prophetic lands us in hot water. We feel alone and abandoned. Recognizing others in the same situation is crucial to our ability to hold fast. With others our voice grows more certain and finds a home, even in exile. Soon the community we left is replaced by a new community of fellow travelers. We are not alone.

Modern study of biblical prophecy frequently defines prophecy as a message from God and has focused almost exclusively on prophets' words. But prophecy was always also embodied. Anathea E. Portier-Young insists on the synergy of word and body in biblical prophecy. Prophets did more than reveal knowledge: the prophetic body connected God and people, making them present to one another, channeling divine power, traveling between realms. Drawing insights from disciplines ranging from neurobiology to cultural studies, the author examines stories of prophetic commissioning, bodily transformation, asceticism and ecstasy, mobility and immobility, affect and emotion, revealing the body's centrality to prophetic mediation.

Violence disturbs. And violent depictions, when encountered in the biblical texts, are all the more disconcerting. Isaiah 63:1-6 is an illustrative instance. The prophetic text presents the "Arriving One" in gory details ('trampling down people'; 'pouring out their lifeblood' v.6). Further, the introductory note that the Arriving One is “coming from Edom” (cf. v.1) may suggest Israel's unrelenting animosity towards Edom. These two themes: the "gory depiction" and "coming from Edom" are addressed in this book. Irudayaraj uses a social identity reading to show how Edom is consistently pictured as Israel's proximate and yet 'other'-ed entity. Approaching Edom as such thus helps situate the animosity within a larger prophetic vision of identity construction in the postexilic Third Isaian context. By adopting an iconographic reading of Isaiah 63:1-6, Irudayaraj shows how the prophetic portrayal of the 'Arriving One' in descriptions where it is clear that the 'Arriving One' is a marginalised identity correlates with the experiences of the "stooped" exiles (cf 51:14). He also demonstrates that the text leaves behind emphatic affirmations ('mighty' and 'splendidly robed' cf. v.1; “alone” cf. v.3), by which the relegated voice of the divine reasserts itself. It is in this divine reassertion that the hope of the Isaian community's reclamation of its own identity rests.

This collection of three prophetic books by beloved author H. A. Maxwell Whyte all deal with the spiritual gift the apostle Paul calls “the working of miracles” (1 Corinthians 12:10). The Working of Miracles looks at the powerful and prophetic outpouring of the Holy Spirit in the believer's life. It unpacks the principals involved in the working of miracles and the explanation of what a miracle really is. The Prophetic Word reveals the amazing power of the Word of God when spoken through His anointed vessels. Pulling Down Strongholds calls the church to take its rightful place in God’s plan to throw off every form of bondage to Satan and to destroy his dominion on earth in these last days. Together, these three classic charismatic teachings will inspire readers to boldly pursue the prophetic spiritual gifts and to stand in the spiritual victory God has promised.

Excerpt from Plain Papers: On Prophetic and Other Subjects The following pages lay no claim to originality in the strict sense of that word. The author has read with attention much that has been written on prophetic sub jects by others, and he has never hesitated to avail himself Of any sentiment which has commended itself to him as in accordance with the Word of God. How much he is in debted thus to some who have preceded him it would be impossible for him to determine. Some subjects discussed in this volume he is not aware Of having seen similarly treated in any previous work; but as to these, as well as all else that the volume contains, he would have it under stood that he has given expression to nothing (unless pre sented as a mere suggestion) which has not been judged by him, on comparison with the alone test of truth, to be the doctrine Of God's blessed book. The reader is entreated rigidly to subject all that these pages contain to the same test. Upward Of ten years have elapsed Since the first edition began. That now, in closely perusing the sheets for the present edition, he Should find, save for clearness of ex pression here and there, SO little to change, is with the writer matter of sincere thankfulness to God. Truth is, like its divine Author, immutable. To be tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind Of doctrine, is the effect of our learning, not from God, but from men. May we all be kept from the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby so many lie in wait to deceive. The former edition was anonymous; but the French translation having been published with the author's name, though without his knowledge of the fact, it would be mere affectation to withhold it here. God grant, in His infinite mercy, that these pages may be used of Him to awaken attention to prophetic subjects, and to aid inquirers in the examination Of His Word with reference thereto. And may both readers and writer be found, (if still on earth when the Master comes, ) with girded loins and burning lamps, and they themselves like unto men that wait for their lord.

Prophecy was a wide-spread phenomenon in the ancient world - not only in ancient Israel but in the whole Eastern Mediterranean cultural sphere. This is demonstrated by documents from the ancient Near East, that have been the object of Martti Nissinen’s research for more than twenty years. Nissinen's studies have had a formative influence on the study of the prophetic phenomenon. The present volume presents a selection of thirty-one essays, bringing together essential aspects of prophetic divination in the ancient Near East. The first section of the volume discusses prophecy from theoretical perspectives. The second sections contains studies on prophecy in texts from Mari and Assyria and other cuneiform sources. The third section discusses biblical prophecy in its ancient Near Eastern context, while the fourth section focuses on prophets and prophecy in the Hebrew Bible/Old Testament. Even prophecy in the Dead Sea Scrolls is discussed in the fifth section. The articles are essential reading for anyone studying ancient prophetic phenomenon.

The stories in this collection all relate to the vicissitudes of displaced individuals who are frequently trapped by society's rigid norms. Some, like the Jew with the white beard and the long black overcoat in the title story who steps off the gangplank, are entering a world that is no longer theirs.
