Excerpt from The Prophet and His Problems
The Hebrew prophet has received a new interpretation at the hands of modern scholarship. Prior to its advent he was classified as belonging to an altogether unique species. He was neither of earth, nor of heaven, but had more or less tangible connections with both. He was a thing to be admired - yea, wondered at, but not to be understood. His mental and spiritual processes defied all analysis. He was an unfathomable mystery.
To-day the prophet is, in one sense, as much a mystery as ever; and he will remain so. Genius always eludes definition and exposition; and religious genius is no exception to the rule. But we have come to see that, after all, the prophet was a man among men.
