The two independent studies in this volume are: 1. Alan J. Hauser,
Yahweh versus Death-The Real Struggle in 1 Kings 17-19. Hauser
argues that although Yahweh emerges victorious in the famous match
against Baal in ch. 18, it is Yahweh's struggle with death that
gives 1 Kings 17-19 its literary shape and dynamic. 2. Russell
Gregory, Irony and the Unmasking of Elijah. Gregory detects a
fundamental irony in 1 Kings 17-19: Elijah, driven by his ambitions
to clear the country of the prophets of Baal and to lead the people
back to the worship of the one true god, appears to be a diligent
and forceful prophet for Yahweh. And yet, his frenetic activity
only veils his arrogance and his subversion of the prophetic
task.>
