Overview
The priest's sharing in the priestly, prophetic, and kingly ministry of Jesus is well known, but more attention needs to be paid to the full meaning of Jesus's prophetic ministry in order to respond effectively to the challenges the Church is facing today, both in its engagement with the culture and in the challenges of internal purification.

Reviews
In this concise and clear book, Dr. Ralph Martin has set forth a much needed picture of Christ as prophet and calls priests and seminarians to rediscover and imitate this oft neglected role of Christ today. Dr. Martin's urgent call here should be required reading for seminarians and priests. -- Monsignor Charles Pope, Pastor, Holy Comforter St. Cyprian Catholic Church, Washington, DC Priests who participate in Jesus' prophetic ministry, like Jesus Himself, inevitably provoke opposition from some, even as they awaken faith in others. Perhaps because a certain institutional conservatism can incline bishops to worry about the former effect more than they rejoice about the latter, the priest's prophetic role is often overlooked. -- Father Peter Ryan, SJ, Professor of Theology Sacred Heart Seminary, Detroit, Michigan This is an extraordinary document that needs to be read and implemented by all formators of priests. And every priest should read it to ignite the zeal for souls that belongs in their priestly hearts, hearts that belong to God and his people. -- Janet Smith, PhD, Retired Father Michael J. McGivney Chair in Life Issues Sacred Heart Seminary, Detroit, Michigan
