According to this volume's preface, the term prophecy has two meanings. One is "inspired utterances"--an unseen being, usually a god or goddess, speaking through a mortal. The other meaning refers to predicting future events. In light of the interest in New Age phenomena such as crystals and astrology, an encyclopedic study of prophecy is timely. This work brings together information on prophets, psychics, symbols, methods, and even a study of theories of prophecy.
Some 134 entries are arranged alphabetically and cover people (Cassandra; Cayce, Edgar; Elijah; Nostradamus), places (Delphi, Glastonbury ), techniques, and symbols of prophecy. Many of the articles are accompanied by an illustration, portrait, or photograph. Most entries end with see references to other articles and a list of titles for further reading. Well-known prophecies such as the sinking of the Titanic are covered in several articles as well as in an individual entry under Titanic . The volume concludes with a bibliography of approximately 130 sources and an index.
Some individuals are included (Saint Augustine, for example), not necessarily because they made prophetic statements but because of their views on prophecy. Although the volume does not specifically cover science fiction, some writers who present a compelling view of the future, such as Aldous Huxley and George Orwell, were selected for inclusion. One obvious omission is the psychic the Amazing Criswell, who was a popular figure on late-night television and noted for his outlandish predictions.
Much of the information included in this work can be found in other reference works dealing with the paranormal, psychic phenomena, astrology, and even religion, but no work pulls together all the different facets of prophecy in one volume. Recommended for public, school, and academic libraries with collections in these areas or where patron demand is anticipated. RBB
