Future of the Prophetic
Israel's ancient Wisdom Re-presented
Description:... Future
of the Prophetic argues that in the persistence of the
prophetic, the legacy of the ancient Jewish world spread beyond the boundaries
of the Jewish community and took root throughout the world. As a way of wisdom
and hope, this dual rooting—its grounding in the tradition of ancient Israel
and its uncontained itinerancy—unveils a startling but promising new context: a
re-presentation of the prophetic from outside the Jewish world to the Jewish
community. The new situation of contemporary prophetic challenges the fixed
religious landscape by reversing traditional boundaries, eschewing power and
privilege, and brokering peace through solidarity and common struggle in
ecumenical and interfaith contexts.
