I was reading Wikipedia's article on Montanism and saw this passage:
The Montanist prophets did not speak as messengers of God but were described as possessed by God while being unable to resist.
This (and other text in the article) seems to reverberate of the oracles given at Delphi and at other pagan sites that were occurring during the same time frame.
Was Montanistic prophecy a reflection of this culture of oracles or was it something born out of its own right?
