The Prophetic Figures of Religious Traditions
Prophetic figures in religious traditions, such as Malcolm X, Fannie Nohame, Martin Luther King, Rabbi Abraham Drosch, and Heschel, do not align with dominant forms of religious traditions that accommodate empire, capitalism, patriarchy, homophobia, and transphobia. These prophetic figures, although critical of such systems, are not representatives of the entire tradition. They often stand in opposition to the mainstream, going against the grain of their communities to uphold values of truth, beauty, love, and justice.
