The Reformation of Prophecy presents and supports the case for viewing the prophet and biblical prophecy as a powerful lens by which to illuminate many aspects of the reforming work of the Protestant reformers in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. It provides a chronological and developmental analysis of the significance of the prophet and biblical prophecy across leading Protestant reformers in articulating a theology of the priesthood of all believers, a biblical model of the pastoral office, a biblical vision of the reform of worship, and biblical processes for discerning right interpretation of Scripture. Through the tool of the prophet and biblical prophecy, the reformers framed their work under, within, and in support of the authority of Scripture—for the true prophet speaks the Word of God alone and calls the people, their worship and their beliefs and practices, back to the Word of God. The book also demonstrates how interpretations and understandings of the prophet and biblical prophecy contributed to the formation and consolidation of distinctive confessional identities, especially around differences in their visions of sacred history, Christological exegesis of Old Testament prophecy, and interpretation of Old Testament metaphors. This book illuminates the significant shifts in the history of Protestant reformers’ engagement with the prophet and biblical prophecy—shifts from these serving as a tool to advance the priesthood of all believers to a tool to clarify and buttress clerical identity and authority to a site of polemical-confessional exchange concerning right interpretations of Scripture.

Identification of nonlinear restoring force and dynamic loadings provides critical information for post-event damage diagnosis of structures. Due to high complexity and individuality of structural nonlinearities, it is difficult to provide an exact parametric mathematical model in advance to describe the nonlinear behavior of a structural member or a substructure under strong dynamic loadings in practice. Moreover, external dynamic loading applied to an engineering structure is usually unknown and only acceleration responses at limited degrees of freedom of the structure are available for identification. In this study, a nonparametric nonlinear restoring force and excitation identification approach combining the Legendre polynomial model and extended Kalman filter with unknown input is proposed using limited acceleration measurements fused with limited displacement measurements. Then, the performance of the proposed approach is first illustrated via numerical simulation with multi-degree-of-freedom frame structures equipped with magnetorheological dampers mimicking nonlinearity under direct dynamic excitation or base excitation using noise-polluted measurements. Finally, a dynamic experimental study on a four-story steel frame model equipped with a magnetorheological damper is carried out and dynamic response measurement is employed to validate the effectiveness of the proposed method by comparing the identified dynamic responses, nonlinear restoring force, and excitation force with the test measurements. The convergence and the effect of initial estimation errors of structural parameters on the final identification results are investigated. The effect of data fusion on improving the identification accuracy is also investigated.
