Addresses a key question in biblical studies: the Elijah narratives' contribution to the theological vision of the book of Kings. Using a canonical-agrarian approach, this book challenges longstanding assumptions to offer a new concept of the narratives' rhetorical and theological contribution and insights into Elijah's iconographical character.
In this book, Daniel J. D. Stulac brings a canonical-agrarian approach to the Elijah narratives and demonstrates the rhetorical and theological contribution of these texts to the Book of Kings. This unique perspective yields insights into Elijah''s iconographical character (1 Kings 17-19), which is contrasted sharply against the Omride dynasty (1 Kings 20-2 Kings 1). It also serves as a template for Elisha''s activities in chapters to follow (2 Kings 2-8). Under circumstances that foreshadow the removal of both monarchy and temple, the book''s middle third (1 Kings 17-2 Kings 8) proclaims Yhwh''s enduring care for Israel''s land and people through various portraits of resurrection, even in a world where Israel''s sacred institutions have been stripped away. Elijah emerges as the archetypal ancestor of a royal-prophetic remnant with which the reader is encouraged to identify.
