Description:
The Elijah-Elisha narrative (1 Kgs 16:29 -- 2 Kgs 13) is the most underestimated text in the Bible. Far from being a disparate collection, it is actually a carefully crafted double drama that both mirrors life and synthesizes systematically the entire Primary History (Genesis-Kings). And it interprets: In a bold hermeneutical move it transforms the language of historiography -- of patriarchs and kings -- into the language of prophetic biography.
Expand description
This prophetic biography, rooted in historiography, later becomes the evangelists' primary literary model. The Elijah-Elisha narrative is the crucial bridge between the foundational narratives of Judaism and Christianity.
