The Judaeo-Christian Bible Fully Translated

A spokesman was a self-proclaimed arbiter and dispenser of doctrines alleged to have been revealed to him by the paramount Jewish god, Yahweh, either in a hallucination, or by such scientific methodology as rolling dice. The heads of self-perpetuating oligarchies such as Roman Catholicism and Mormonism claim to be channels of deistic revelations to this day. Probably the closest modern-day equivalent to an ancient spokesman was Ruholla Khomeini.
