Muhammad is known in Islam as “The Seal of the Prophets.”

Choose either Judaism OR Christianity and select a prophet from your chosen religion.

What does the prophetic office mean for the religion you have chosen?

How does your choice exercise the office of prophet within either Judaism or Christianity?

Finally, whom do you regard as being a “prophet” in today’s world? Name this person.
