Shemesh, Elisha: The Holy Man of God (Brill)

NEW BOOK FROM BRILL:

Elisha: The Holy Man of God

Series:
Vetus Testamentum, Supplements, Volume: 200

Author: Yael Shemesh

Unlike Elijah's stories, Elisha’s, especially the short legends, have received little scholarly attention or deep analysis. Though this is changing, recent research often views them as critical of Elisha. This book aims to highlight their richness and complexity through literary analysis and to establish them as the earliest example in Israelite literature of Saint’s legends or prophetic hagiography.
