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.
