Abstract
Early Christian prophecy, a subject long neglected by New Testament scholarship, has recently become the focus of numerous articles and monographs. Though the literary sources for our knowledge of early Christian prophecy are, for the most part, fragmentary, scattered, difficult to correlate and enigmatic, progress in research can be made through the patient examination, comparison and interpretation of the relevant data. The major literary witnesses for the phenomenon of early Christian prophecy are Paul's first letter to the Corinthians, the Apocalypse of John, the Didache and the Shepherd of Hermas. These documents all diverge from one another in temporal, geographical as well as ideological ways; the portrait of Christian prophecy which they exhibit also diverges to such an extent thatthephenomenon of Christian prophecy, ortheChristian prophet, orthehistory of Christian prophecy cannot yet be synthesized.
