Are there any female prophets in any of the world's religions?

Answer 1

Sure, the Jewish and Christian religions. They record female prophets in the Old Testament and the New Testament. In the OT there is Miriam, Deborah, Huldah, and Noadiah and several others and in the NT there is Anna that comes to mind and others too.

Answer 2

No, but I often think the roles of Esther, Mary Magdalene and others are devalued. There was an excellent French documentary about Mary a few years back.

Answer 3

The Seventh Day Adventists and Christian Scientists both have female prophetesses.

Answer 4

Acts 21:8 Leaving the next day, we reached Caesarea and stayed at the house of Philip the evangelist, one of the Seven. 9 He had four unmarried daughters who prophesied.

Acts 2:17 “ ‘In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams. 18 Even on my servants, both men and women, I will pour out my Spirit in those days, and they will prophesy.

Answer 5

Deborah in Judaism (and Christianity by default).
