This weekly non-credit course is open to current students and faculty. Registrants are free to attend as many sessions as they choose. Sessions do not presuppose previous attendance or prior knowledge of the subject.

In its broadest sense, biblical prophecyin both the Old and New Testamentsincludes the activities and utterances of seers, dreamers, ecstatics, diviners, mystics, and declaimers of unmediated divine discourse: oracles, instruction, admonition, consolation.  This course will examine literary and non-literary prophecy as a supernaturally accomplished conduit of God's will, along with the various instruments by which that will is communicated.  In addition, we will look at the ways in which prophetic action and discourse shaped the contemplative and liturgical life of the early Church, as well as the prayer of the later centuries.
