Writing beyond Prophecy offers a new interpretation of the American Renaissance by drawing attention to a cluster of later, rarely studied works by Ralph Waldo Emerson, Nathaniel Hawthorne, and Herman Melville. Identifying a line of writing from Emerson's Conduct of Life to Hawthorne's posthumously published Elixir of Life manuscript to Melville's Clarel: A Poem and Pilgrimage in the Holy Land, Martin Kevorkian demonstrates how these authors wrestled with their vocational calling. Early in their careers, these three authors positioned their literary pursuits as an alternative to the ministry. By presenting a "new revelation" and a new set of "gospels" for the nineteenth century, they sought to usurp the authority of the pulpit. Later in life, each writer came to recognize the audacity of his earlier work, creating what Kevorkian characterizes as a literary aftermath. Strikingly, each author later wrote about the character of a young divinity student torn by a crisis of faith and vocation. Writing beyond Prophecy gives a distinctive shape to the late careers of Emerson, Hawthorne, and Melville and offers a cohesive account of the lingering religious devotion left in the wake of American Romanticism.

In this challenging and enlightening treatment, Brueggemann traces the lines from the radical vision of Moses to the solidification of royal power in Solomon to the prophetic critique of that power with a new vision of freedom in the prophets. Here he traces the broad sweep from Exodus to Kings to Jeremiah to Jesus. He highlights that the prophetic vision and not only embraces the pain of the people but creates an energy and amazement based on the new thing that God is doing. In this new edition, Brueggemann has completely revised the text, updated the notes, and added a new preface.

In the contemporary church, there has been an upsurge of those who claim to receive direct communication through visions and dreams. But their claim contradicts the testimony of scripture. This book will expose and analyze false prophecies made by two well-known American and Kenyan ''prophets''. According to Apostle Paul, the purpose of prophetic gift was for edification in the early church, so in the end it would not be carried about with every wind of doctrine (1 Corinthians 14:3, 5; Ephesians 4:12, 14). As the New Testament drew to completion, the same apostle taught that the role of prophetic gift was coming to an end, being superseded by completed and inspired Holy Scripture. Today the prophetic claims by contemporary charismatic "prophets" are never tested for veracity by any witnesses, contrary to apostolic admonition. These untested visions and dreams cannot compete with the inspired and tested words of Paul in edifying the church, which was the main purpose of prophetic gift in Bible times. "We need people like you who can give REASON for their faith objectively and consistently. Thank you." - George Odero, Nairobi, Kenya "This is just awesome! For lack of words of how to describe such a God-given insight into the truth ... It's about time someone was raised of God to counter some of these hypocritical religions." - Martin Kilungu, Nairobi, Kenya Charles O. Ndege of Kenya undertook an in-depth study of the Bible after his conversion in1982. He wrote this book so "the people of God may not continue to be deceived by the contemporary 'prophets' and their outlandish false claims." Publisher's Website: http: //sbpra.com/CharlesONdege

Where have all the prophets gone? And why do preachers seem to shy away from prophetic witness? Astute preacher Leonora Tisdale considers these vexing questions while providing guidance and encouragement to pastors who want to recommit themselves to the task of prophetic witness. With a keen sensitivity to pastoral contexts, Tisdale's work is full of helpful suggestions and examples to help pastors structure and preach prophetic sermons, considered by many to be one of the most difficult tasks pastors are called to undertake.

In 1856 and 1857, in response to a prophet’s command, the Xhosa people of southern Africa killed their cattle and ceased planting crops; the resulting famine cost tens of thousands of lives. Much like other millenarian, anticolonial movements—such as the Ghost Dance in North America and the Birsa Munda uprising in India—these actions were meant to transform the world and liberate the Xhosa from oppression. Despite the movement’s momentous failure to achieve that goal, the event has continued to exert a powerful pull on the South African imagination ever since. It is these afterlives of the prophecy that Jennifer Wenzel explores in Bulletproof. Wenzel examines literary and historical texts to show how writers have manipulated images and ideas associated with the cattle killing—harvest, sacrifice, rebirth, devastation—to speak to their contemporary predicaments. Widening her lens, Wenzel also looks at how past failure can both inspire and constrain movements for justice in the present, and her brilliant insights into the cultural implications of prophecy will fascinate readers across a wide variety of disciplines.
