Production was done by 4th Disciple, Kount Fif, Sam Sneed, Shakim Allah, Godz Wrath, Chuckie Madness, Arythmetic and others. Allhiphop.com says: "For the most part, the production on the album, from the likes of 4th Disciple and Godz Wrath, complements Priest’s flow and lyrics very well."[4]

As previous albums, The Offering is heavy on lyrical content dealing with spirituality, freedom of the mind and religion. On the track Salvation, Killah Priest talks about a spiritual battle with temptation.

Hiphopdx.com gave the album a favorable rating, while the written review was highly critical to Priest's style and execution of his lyrics. Overall ending with: "Overall, The Offering is a solid album. Making a collection of 17 tracks which are listenable as a whole isn’t easy, and Killah Priest more or less manages to pull it off."[5]
