context_page_description: In Christianity the figures widely recognised as prophets are those mentioned as such in the Old Testament and the New Testament. It is believed that prophets are chosen and called by God.
  The main list below consists of only those individuals that have been clearly defined as prophets, either by explicit statement or strong contextual implication, along with the Biblical reference to their office.
  The second list consists of those individuals who are recorded as having had a visionary or prophetic experience, but without a history of any major or consistent prophetic calling. The third list consists of unnamed prophets. The fourth list contains the names of those described in the Bible as prophets, but are presented as either misusing this gift or as fraudulent.
  The last two lists relate to claimed post-Biblical individuals followed by some Christians. The fifth list consists of post-Biblical individuals regarded as prophets and the final list consists of post-Biblical individuals who are regard to have visionary or prophetic experience.
