If people claim to speak for God, what enables us to know when to
credit or discredit the claim? This book analyses the criteria for
discernment of prophetic authenticity in the Old Testament, and for
discernment of apostolic authenticity in the New Testament; and
also considers their validity and viability in a contemporary
context. After explaining the biblical concept of prophetic and
apostolic speech on God's behalf, Moberly offers close readings of
the biblical text so as to bring to life the distinctive voices,
especially those of Jeremiah and St Paul, which speak of critical
discernment. He addresses contemporary difficulties with the whole
idea that humans might speak for God and analyses the nature of
authentic spirituality. Throughout the discussion the premise is
that the biblical treatment of discernment illuminates the
fundamental human issue of the need to know who may be trusted and
why.
