"Biblical prophecy involves more than words: it is always also embodied. After assessing the implications and origins of a logocentric model of biblical prophecy, the book proposes an alternative, embodied paradigm of analysis that draws insights from disciplines ranging from cognitive neuroscience to anthropology. The body's vital and necessary role in prophetic mediation emerges through analysis of portrayals of prophets' embodied religious experience and practice in diverse texts from the Hebrew Bible and Old Testament. Prophetic call narratives reveal a correspondence between embodied encounter with God and embodied mission to God's people and a programmatic synergy of word and body.
