In this 21st century church, it is valuably important that we as believers in Jesus Christ are to understand any gift given or presented to us. Because the gift of prophecy is in such high demand, we must have a complete understanding of the gift and the office. It is increasingly important that as a prophet, the gift and the giver (God) of the gift are represented correctly. It is also important for those who are laity to understand the designed function of the gift. To operate as a novice is dangerous. Also, to attempt to operate and not be called is erroneous, simply life- damaging and life-threatening. If you are called to the office/mantle of a prophet, you MUST understand the gift. You must live it and not just operate in it. At the completion of this manual, you will have a great understanding of prophecy, the prophetic and the mantle of a prophet. The designated functionary purpose is to present the rules and boundaries or what is acceptable and to help you discern when flesh is on parade. The Holy Bible records in Proverbs 4:7, "Wisdom is the principle thing, therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting, get understanding." So, allow this manual to help to enlighten you as we open up and unveil "The Mantle Of A Prophet."

This book provides an introduction to current trends in the study of the biblical prophets. It surveys the growing volume of work that has been on the redactional analysis of individual books and represents the first attempt to bring together these different strands of redaction criticism and to evaluate the effect they have had on our appreciation of the prophetical books as a distinct genre. The opening chapter deals with the methodology of redaction criticism as applicable to the prophetical books. The author then looks at the redactional history of each of the individual books in turn. The closing chapters consider the implications this approach has for our appreciation of these books and the aims of the writers who created them. In particular, the author draws attention to the literary nature of the image of The Prophet conveyed in the books about prophets.

The life and legacy of one of Mohammad’s closest confidants and Islam’s patron saint: Ali ibn Abi Talib Ali ibn Abi Talib is arguably the single most important spiritual and intellectual authority in Islam after prophet Mohammad. Through his teachings and leadership as fourth caliph, Ali nourished Islam. But Muslims are divided on whether he was supposed to be Mohammad’s political successor—and he continues to be a polarizing figure in Islamic history. Hassan Abbas provides a nuanced, compelling portrait of this towering yet divisive figure and the origins of sectarian division within Islam. Abbas reveals how, after Mohammad, Ali assumed the spiritual mantle of Islam to spearhead the movement that the prophet had led. While Ali’s teachings about wisdom, justice, and selflessness continue to be cherished by both Shia and Sunni Muslims, his pluralist ideas have been buried under sectarian agendas and power politics. Today, Abbas argues, Ali’s legacy and message stands against that of ISIS, Al-Qaeda, and Taliban.
