there are prophets among us, but it seems often they are not in the church, at least not explicitly. among them i would certainly include david james duncan and cormac mccarthy.
of mccarthy's work, suttree is an unusually insightful book which, among other things, seems to me to be what the book of jeremiah might look like set in knoxville, tennessee. for fans of the revelation to st. john, no country for old men contains fairly explicit suggestions to that work. it is an extended chase story peopled by good folks who try to serve god and mammon and one bad dude who makes no such pretense.
duncan's work is all theological, but god laughs and plays is out and out sermonic.
