Summary

With a close reading of both Hildegard and Bonhoeffer, in Light on Prophecy Jennifer Campbell encourages the contemporary church to read the signs of the times and to reach out to those in need in prophetic witness to both the Word of God and the Holy Spirit. She insists that prophecyis at its strongest when the Christ-focus and the Spirit-focus are as one.
