First-century Christianity witnessed considerable prophetic activity and charismatic phenomena (1 Thess 5: 20; 1 Cor 11: 4, 5; 12: 10, 28; 14: 3–4; Rom 12: 6; Eph 2: 20; 3: 5; 4: 11; Matt 7: 22; 10: 41; Luke 11: 49; Acts 11: 27; 15: 32; 21: 9, 10; 1 Tim 4: 14; Rev 2: 20; 19: 10). With the turn of the century ecclesiastical structures and offices began to gain more permanent forms, while prophetic enthusiasm slackened; but unlike what one might suppose it did not cease altogether. Indeed, the second century saw the rise of a Christian movement in which prophecy gained an extraordinarily outstanding position. The centrality of prophetic activity among these Christians is stressed by the fact that even though later generations knew the movement best as “Montanists,” 1 a name derived from one of its first prophets and leaders, Montanus, the adherents of the movement called it “Prophecy”(Eusebius, Hist. eccl. 5.16. 4; Clem. Alex., Strom. 4.13). Even their opponents knew the Montanists as the “New Prophecy” recognizing the strong prophetic ethos of the movement, albeit emphasizing its difference from the prophets of the apostolic age (Eusebius, Hist. eccl. 5.16. 4; 5.19. 2).
