Dr. Clifford Hill is the editor of Prophecy Today magazine. Prophecy Past and Present was first published in 1989 and this is a revised and updated edition, subtitled 'An Exploration of the Prophetic Ministry in the Bible and the Church Today'.
The book is divided into three parts: 'Prophecy in Ancient Israel', 'Prophecy in the Early Church', and 'Prophecy Today'. There are 17 chapters which are helpfully sub-divided so that although Prophecy Past and Present is quite a large book, one need not get lost in it. In addition, Dr. Hill's fluent style combine with a clear structure to make his book a considerably easier read than its size and subject might suggest.
