“…Being vulnerable implies opening oneself to the societal issues that requires prophetic confrontation, as prophets stand againts injustice, exploitation, oppression and dehumanisation. In so doing, the prophetic ministry is performed in solidarity with the vulnerable of society (Vosloo 2019). As Vosloo (2019:5) puts forward, the church's prophetic ministry has to 'name and resist the forces of dehumanisation, oppression and injustice'.…”

“…It is true that there are excesses and abuses perpetuated by some prophets within the neo-Pentecostal movement as Vosloo (2019) explains: prophets who are more interested in making money or serving their own interests than in speaking truth to powers and to believers. They are causing damage to the movement as a whole.…”

In this article, the question in focus is the church and Christianity’s prophetic responsibility towards society, and how in the specific case of the South African-born theologian Gerald John Pillay, his prophetic voice should be characterised. The question is addressed as to whether he was an activist at the barricades or a soft-spoken intellectual in his views on society. After a brief discussion on his bio, the focus is on the phenomenon of being a prophet towards society. Then, the focus, largely based on a literature study, moves to Pillay’s perspectives on the South African and New Zealand contexts, and then a discussion of some of Pillay’s writings on being a prophetic voice follows. Finally, in the conclusion, his specific style and model of being a prophetic voice are analysed.
