What is the base of religious leadership and how has it changed
over the centuries? This volume presents a range of actors, both
men and women, who, in a variety of historical contexts, claimed to
be the living voices or intermediaries of God. The essays analyse
the foundation of their authoritative claims and ask how and how
far they succeeded in securing obedience from the Christians to
whom they addressed their message. Religious authority is not
understood as a monolithic entity but as something derived from
many sources and claims. Whatever the national background, whether
ordained or supposedly appointed through divine intervention, the
histories of the people portrayed underline the long-term
manifestations and multifaceted nature of Christian identity.
