A fascinating, imaginative, and provocative re-reading of ancient texts in light of recent research into the sleep and dream patterns of people with depressive disorders. Wilson gives particular attention to Adam, Elijah, and Jonah before comparing their experiences to Jesus'. Wilson's engagement with Genesis 2-3 is particularly interesting. Wilson concludes that Jesus, like the OT figures examined, is a depressive prophet who, nevertheless, is not incapacitated by this disorder, possibly because he is 'God-with-us.' --Kent Brower, Nazarene Theological College

Author Information

Although originally trained as an industrial chemist, David Wilson read theology and pastoral studies upon his return to academia in 1995. After graduation, he completed an MA, before submitting a multidisciplinary thesis in selected passages of the Hebrew Bible to the University of Manchester in 2006. This preliminary research initiated a ten-year quest to produce a more definitive work on prophecy in both testaments of the Christian Bible from a psychophysiological perspective.
