Protestant reformers found the prophet and biblical prophecy to be
exceptionally effective for framing their reforming work under the
authority of Scripturefor the true prophet speaks the Word of God
alone and calls the people, their worship, and their beliefs and
practices back to the Word of God. The Reformation of Prophecy uses
the prophet and biblical prophecy as a powerful lens through which
to view many aspects of the reformers in the sixteenth and
seventeenth centuries. G. Sujin Pak argues that these prophetic
concepts served the substantial purposes of articulating a theology
of the priesthood of all believers, a biblical model of the
pastoral office, a biblical vision of the reform of worship, and
biblical processes for discerning right interpretation of
Scripture. Pak demonstrates the ways in which understandings of the
prophet and biblical prophecy contributed to the formation of
distinct confessional identities. She goes on to demonstrate the
waning of explicit prophetic terminology, particularly among the
next generation of Protestant leadership. Eventually, she shows,
the Protestant reformers concluded that the figure of the prophet
carried with it as many problems as it did benefits, though they
continued to give much time and attention to the exegesis of
biblical prophetic writings.
