Person
Montanus
later second century
Prophet in Phrygia
Attested. The Phrygian prophecy is certain. The exact decade and the founders' orthodoxy on the Trinity are harder.
Montanus, with the prophetesses Maximilla and Prisca, announced a new, final outpouring of the Spirit in rural Phrygia. The movement, called the New Prophecy by insiders and Montanism by critics, demanded strict fasting and honored martyrdom. Tertullian later sympathized with it. It was not a denial of the creator or of the scriptures already in use.
