Scholars and believers alike often ask difficult questions regarding God's formal dealings with mankind: Why did God work through prophets anciently, through Christ Himself when He was on the earth, and through His apostles after His death but then suddenly end the prophetic voice? How can God be the same yesterday, today, and forever if He so radically changed His approach to guiding His children? What happened to the original, clear message delivered from God to Adam after the Fall regarding the principles, practices, and rites required of His children? If God's complete, error-free plan still exists, how would we know, and how is it possible for humanity to decipher such a plan, given the numerous avenues available to worship our Creator? Where Have All the Prophets Gone? explores these issues by looking at the core practices and texts that reveal both the origins and the path traveled by early Christianity. With a critical but refreshingly open eye, the author identifies the current “state of the kingdom" and opens the window on a unique hope that God is indeed constant in both His love and His methods. Scott Petersen joins a growing list of Christian writers who are looking carefully at the enormous treasure of early Christian writings now available in English. However, few of these writers have scoured this collection as thoroughly and carefully as he has. Noel B. Reynolds, Ph.D., Executive Director, Institute for the Study and Preservation of Ancient Religious Texts Scott Petersen's Where Have All the Prophets Gone? is the result of painstaking and careful research from many original and secondary sources. Petersen has done an important work by opening the history of Christianity for our understanding and showing the implications of that history for us today. James Faulconer, Professor of Philosophy, Brigham Young University Scott Petersen has approached an old topic with new eyes, adding wonderful insights into Judeo-Christian religious history from Old Testament through modern times, written from a faith-based perspective.
