Uncalculated and uncredentialed.
Two terms Eugene Peterson used here in defending his ...controversial in some circles...view of U2 as prophets.
Those three terms, then (uncalculated, uncredentialed, and prophetic) fit U2 and Johnny Cash well.
Unlike many Christians...let alone pastors...Johnny was honest and "uncredentialed" enough to say...well amazing, uncalculated prophetic stuff....like; well, read all the quotes here.
Like most prophets; Cash exhibted two more attributes of the prophetic (in Peterson's definition): bite and clarity.
Like most prophets, he died too young.
Read the articles and weep.
Watch this and pray.
Then do something with it.
Preach with the damned, for Christ's sake.
