A study on and a collection of texts on the broad topic of prophecy in a cross-cultural context, which covers Native American, Pacific Islands and the like.

What are the essential elements that qualify one as prophet and his/her deeds as prophecy? How, if at all, does biblical prophecy differ fundamentally from prophecy found in other cultural frameworks?
