The Challenge of Prophecy for Jews and Christians
Prophecy is usually associated with the prophetic books in the Bible and is understood as a prediction of the future. While this is certainly a legitimate starting point for both Jews and Christians, current scholarship finds ever deeper meanings in prophetic activity. In both our communities and in the wider world there are issues calling for a response; the impulses which drove the prophet of old are still at work today. A further question is whether and how prophecy is fulfilled in our respective traditions.
