Introduction:

Prophets, ancient and modern, have challenged the church and the nation to let justice roll down like water and righteousness like a mighty stream. The call of the prophets has been “whole” – personal and social, individual and corporate, religious and secular. They brought hope to the hopeless, and provoked the powerful. They confronted the comfortable, and ministered to the marginal. We need a radical, biblical, prophetic voice in the halls of academia and in the pulpits of the worshiping community. Where are the pastoral and professorial prophets today?
