Biblical Allusion and Prophetic Authority in Gildas’s De excidio Britanniae

Nicholas Perkins

Abstract

The spirit of prophecy does not touch the soul of the prophet either all the time, or in the same way. For sometimes the spirit of prophecy touches the soul of the prophet in relation to the present and in no way in relation to the future ... Sometimes indeed it relates to the present and future, and sometimes the soul of the prophet is touched equally in relation to the past, the present, and the future.
