- W4289718790 abstract "Although Origen’s contemporaries are concerned with rejecting ecstatic-prophetic movements like the Phrygian (Montanist) movement in Anatolia, Origen rarely mentions prophetic ecstasy. This chapter considers why. It examines in particular a strand of thinking focused not on ecstasy per se, but on the personal virtue and authority of the prophet. This model draws on Plato, but also develops in several thinkers around the turn of the millennium and into the first and second centuries AD. While, from Plato onwards, some thinkers embrace the idea of prophetic ecstasy, others (including Philo and Plutarch) deny it, claiming instead that the prophet is rationally and intellectually engaged while prophesying. This chapter argues that their way of viewing the subject paved the way for a new model of prophets who were more like sages. These prophet-sages made claims not only—as prophets of all periods do—to knowledge outside the normal human remit, but also to extraordinary virtue. Texts about prophet-sages from Philo’s period onwards often draw explicit links between prophets’ unusual knowledge and their personal virtue; in many cases, writers claim that because prophets are virtuous, they are able to access knowledge that others cannot. This chapter shows that Origen’s models for talking about inspiration and authority in the prophets came not so much from contemporary movements like the Phrygian movement, but from Jewish and pagan textual models, developed over the preceding centuries." @default.
