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 apostolic authenticity in the New Testament; and also considers their validity and viability in a contemporary context. Moberly explains the biblical concept of prophetic and apostolic speech on God's behalf, addresses contemporary difficulties with the whole idea that humans might speak for God and analyses the nature of authentic spirituality.
