In many religious traditions, the charismatic figure of the prophet performs an important role as mediator of revelation and, therefore, the possibility of transposing the limitations of human knowledge. Characteristics of this phenomenon, that has never been restricted only to Judeo-Christian traditions, nor were limited to a particular time, people or region, were preserved literally in different documents, including in the biblical texts. Moved by personal charism and driven by an eminently ecstatic experience, the prophets of ancient Israel announce the divine oracles, denounce contradictions of economic, political and religious order and convey, through their discourses, prophecies and oracles, the passing of the word of Yahweh. As an integral part of the biblical canon, the prophetic texts were and still are very dear to Protestant theology. But although the ethical elements of prophecy are treated with care, the ecstatic element inherent in prophetism seems to be lessened and even avoided in the re-readings and appropriations of this movement. The purpose of this dissertation is to understand how early twentieth century Protestant theologians and biblical scholars, especially Paul Tillich, interpreted narratives about the prophetic movement in ancient Israel. It is assumed that the Protestant theology of the beginning of the XX century, adopted a particular interpretation of the prophetic movement of ancient Israel. In this sense it is possible that the complexity of prophetism itself has not been fully understood, in view of the intentional emphasis of the ethical element of prophecy, and at the same time a subtle neglect of the ecstatic aspect of prophecy. In the first chapter, the dissertation intends to present Old Testament prophecy from its relationship with ecstasy, pointing out the antecedents that influenced this movement, as well as the different types of prophetic works produced in ancient Israel. In the second chapter the work will show the possible influence that led to the modern, if unintentional, sublimation of the prophetic ecstasy in theological circles. The third chapter intends to map Tillich's reading of this literature through the analysis of the concepts of reason, revelation and ecstasy, as well as the possible causes for this interpretation, emphasizing the modern perception in the tillichian interpretation of biblical prophecy.
