Prophetic orientation
The prophetic orientation stresses that contact with the sacred is
ensured by proper belief and by adherence to moral rules. This orientation also implies
that a human being may be an important intermediary between the believer and the
sacred; for example, a prophet may speak to believers on behalf of the sacred. Prophetic
orientation is a prominent aspect of Judaism, Protestant Christianity, and Islam, which all
see the sacred as being transcendent but personal. The television crusades of evangelistic
ministers are good examples of the prophetic orientation in action.
