Thesis (MTh)--Stellenbosch University, 2001. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This study alms to compare ancient Israelite (Old Testament) prophecy with
Nuer prophecy within its respective religious contexts, to detect the differences
and similarities.
The most important differences between Israelite (Old Testament) and Nuer
prophecy are:
• Israelite prophecy presupposes monotheism while Nuer prophecy
functions within a polytheistic rei igious context.
• Nuer understanding of creation is far less explicit than the Israelite
accounts of creation in Genesis 1 and 2.
In explaining the reasons for the dissimilarities between Israelite (Old Testament)
and Nuer prophecy, reference was made to the difference in geographical
location, cultural and societal context.
Among the more important similarities between Israelite (Old Testament) and
Nuer prophecy are the points of view related to sin and sacrifice, as well as the
distinction between true and false prophets and the role of prophets in society. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hierdie studie beoog om In vergelyking te tref tussen anti eke Israelitiese (Ou
