2010 M.DIV. ALUM PUBLISHES PROPHETIC PERIL
Tom Fuerst ’10 recently published his book Prophetic Peril: The Rhetoric of Nineteenth-Century African American Prophetic-Call Narratives. Part of the blurb reads:
Prophecy reimagines the world. It critiques what is and encourages its audience to imagine what could be. All prophecy, therefore, begins with a person willing to reimagine their own situation. In the biblical and African American traditions, this person receives a “call” to prophetic ministry that upends their reality and compels them to change the way things are. Prophetic Peril: The Rhetoric of Nineteenth-Century African American Prophetic-Call Narratives invites readers into the imaginative, subversive, and ethically complicated stories of four nineteenth-century Black figures who received the call to challenge the what is and live into the what could be in the midst of a hard-hearted world.
You can find more information or order this book from the University Press of Mississippi or Amazon.
