'Content analysis'-which is a computer-assisted form of textual
analysis-is used to examine divine activity in six prophetic texts,
comparing God's activity to that of humans. In this
methodologically innovative study, the author concludes, in the
light of quantitative data, that God is harsher to non-Israelites
than to Israelites in all the texts, and much kinder to Israelites
in Joel than in the typical prophet. God and humans are involved in
much the same kinds of physical and mental processes, but to
considerably different degrees. Griffin argues persuasively that
the God of the prophets is not the 'wholly other' of some
theologies, but neither do his actions follow exactly the human
pattern.
